Saying eye doctor in a conversation feels normal. Saying tooth doctor feels like listening to someone who had a bad disco elysium roll and they’re punching themselves in the face to get the words out.
Optician? I’ve never heard “eye doctor” here in the UK
Technically a general eye doctor would be an opthalmologist. An optician is someone who makes lenses. The person you see for an eye test at the opticians is an optometrist (someone who measures what strength lenses you need).
Don’t be an anti-dentite
Similarly, saying butt doctor doesn’t have the same ring to it as proctologist, but either way they’re checking for rings around Uranus.
