No, you don't have to do MDS after BDS. MDS is for special study in dentistry, and people can choose if they want to do more after BDS.

After BDS, you can work as normal dentist and do many dental work.

If you happy with general dentist work and don't need more special skills, then MDS not needed.

MDS is a postgraduate course that will propel you to top of your academic career. MDS can work as a staff member at any college. Not that a BDS cannot join, but there are no promotions and starting income is lower. However, for an MDS, there is regular advancement and a greater starting wage.

BDS programme is India's sole certified professional dental undergraduate course, lasting five years. Simultaneously, MDS is a master's degree that graduates in Dental Science can obtain after completing their undergraduate study.

Although cutoffs for BDS government colleges can change, candidates in the SC category often have lower cutoffs than those in other categories. For more exact information, check the college cut-off dates specifically.
