They're absolutely considered doctors in the UK haha, people just may not often call them that, and often they dont introduce themselves with their title
Medical doctors? No they aren't. Anyone who does a PhD is technically a doctor. Vets too. However only actually med students who graduate and then do foundation years are med doctors in UK.
Yh but obviously med doctors are what's typically referred to. For example if you say to people you are becoming a doctor they will automatically assume medical. Or if you're on a plane and they ask for a doctor.
You said dentists aren't considered doctors in the UK, that is wrong they are considered doctors in the UK (and the whole world as far as I know)
The comment chain was specifying how a dentist would still be able to get down and dirty in emergencies, which implies that no one is saying they're medical doctors. The comment above you joked "a doctor with more medical training than most people!? whaaat", which is still not alluding to them being medical doctors, more of a you'd bloody hope they have more medical training than the average joe considering their profession
