You can surely use 'Dr.' if you have a BDS degree and are registered with Dental Council of India (DCI). Doctor title is used to acknowledge those who have completed a doctoral course in dentistry.
But you should keep one thing in mind that its use may differ on basis of specific country or region.

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.

No, MLT graduates become doctors.

For instance, they could enrol in MBBS, which is the standard pathway to becoming a doctor in India. This requires meeting the necessary prerequisites and passing entrance exams like NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test).

Yes, the graduate in Veterinary courses is a doctor who is known by the title of "Doctor of Veterinary Medicine" or another title depending on the nation.

Average salary is estimated to be anywhere between INR 2.5 LPA and INR 15 LPA for MBBS doctors, while IAS officers are expected to get an estimated 14 LPA.
However, what doctors and IAS officers earn may be entirely different for a host of other reasons.

To be a doctor, one needs to do MBBS and/or MD.
