MBBS (General Doctor) is superior for broader career options, higher long-term earnings and also treating the whole body but it is more competitive and stressful.
BDS (Dentist) is better for a faster, specialised career, better work-life balance and also faster early income.
Choose MBBS if you want to be a general physician/surgeon and choose BDS if you want to specialize early in dentistry with a better work-life balance.
