BDS in India

This might taste bitter to you but graduating in dental surgery from india is'nt of any use to Canadians. To even practice as a dental auxiliary u have to get enrolled yourself into a dental course pertaining to feild you wish to get into. My sister went to study arts in Canada and did her part time as a dental receptionist. She was able to clear the ndbe examination and earned her license to practice there directly.

Salary wise, it isn't the best in the sector as the time and money spent in BDS (from a pvt. College) takes years and years for return compared with other Bachelor degrees unless you have a medical background.

Both courses are considered as healthcare specialties. However, one of the commonest reason most people consider MBBS more prestigious than BDS is the sheer fact that an MBBS doctor studies and obtains a licence to treat general ailments of the entire human body.

The BDS is a 5 year (4 years academic education + 1 year mandatory internship) UG degree programme. This course can be pursued through full time and part time courses. The BDS is one of the most sought courses after 12th in medical field. There are many reputed universities in India which are offering the BDS course.

Hi
Of course you are eligible. Whether it's good or not, depends upon where you do it from and what is your field of interest. Doing an MBA will take you away from clinical field and into more of management. With the mushrooming of corporate hospitals, there is a huge scope for doctors who can be managers. So, if you are up for the challenge, a vast field awaits you after your MBA. Good luck!

If you have already taken BDS the best thing you can opt for is MS. There are various specializations in the field of dental sciences like Prosthodontics, Periodontics, Orthodontics, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Operative Dentistry, Pedodontics & Preventive Dentistry, Conservative, Endodontics & Aesthetic Dentistry, and Periodontology & Oral Implantology.
