What to do after BDS? Career Options after BDS

 After completing BDS, there are several career options available in India. Some of the most popular ones are:

1. Master’s degree in dental surgery: Pursuing a Master of Dental Surgery (M.D.S.) can give you a deeper knowledge of the field. It is the highest educational degree in the field of dentistry and can improve your chances of getting a job as a dentist in reputed institutions. You can choose your area of specialization depending on your interests. Some specialization options during M.D.S. are prosthodontics, orthodontics, operative dentistry, and conservative dentistry 1.

2. Master’s degree in public health: Pursuing a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) can be a good idea if you want to study abroad. It is a two-year graduate-level degree that focuses on public health and is a non-clinical role. There are several colleges in Australia, the USA, the UK, and European countries that offer this course. As public health is becoming a priority, there are plenty of job opportunities in this field, and you can contribute to the general health and wellbeing of others.
