Yes a BDS graduate is a doctor but they are a specialist doctor specifically for the mouth, teeth and jaw. But they are different from those doctors who precribe medicines for general illness.
Doctors study human anatomy and medicine for 5 years (including an internship) and they have the license to treat patients, perform surgeries and also prescribe medication.
But Dentists specializes in teeth and oral health.
