Both has its own respect, scopes and requirement. There is huge shortage of Dentist in India added to fact that Alternative Therapies are now highly sought after in India. Both has its own financial expenditures, like eqiuptments used and so. Henceforth, do bit more homework of what suits you. If you ask me, though BAMS may have equally the same value but opt for BDS. The opportunities are quite diverse India and Abroad, especially when most of reports by Times of India and so speaks about shortage of Dentists in India.

placement - You might get placed in good hospitals in case you are able to score well else if you go for Biotechnology, you have also multiple opportunities at door step given you score well and get placed at good company in the manufacturing industry. No doubt that Bio technology graduates/PGs have high demand as well as MS. It would be better you go for BDS+MS in case you choose Dental Sciences.
