Every year millions of students from all over India sit for an examination called NEET to fulfill their dream of becoming a doctor. But what many don't realize is that there is a growing need for more than just doctors in India's healthcare system. Today dentistry is the fastest growing healthcare profession and the opportunities are abundant, whether in clinical practice, surgery, research, public health or even international healthcare markets.

Why More Students Consider BDS

Over the last decade, the image of the field of dentistry has changed enormously. Patients are now seeking services such as dental implants, invisible aligners, smile design, cosmetic dentistry, and full-mouth rehabilitation. This has created much demand for dental professionals with advanced training.

What is BDS?

The Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) is a 5-year program combining medical and dental sciences, clinical training and patient care. It includes 4 years of academic study and 1 year of mandatory internship.
