Hi aspirant
Seems like you are quite confused, choosing amongst BDS and BAMS.
BDS is a 5 year long course including 1 year of compulsory clinical internship. It is Bachelor of dental surgeries.
BAMS is Bachelor of Ayurvedic medicine and surgeries . It is a 5.5 year long course comprising of 1 year of compulsory clinical internship.
These are professional courses recognized by the government of India and quite popular amongst the youth today.
However, both these courses are widely different from each other.
BDS concerns with the study of human teeth, the head and neck, surrounding structures, diseases affecting the soft and hard tissues of the mouth and diseases and abnormalities of oral and paraoral structures.
It is a detailed study of the human oral cavity. The oral cavity which appears quite small is a major part of the human body. The oral cavity is in close association with the vital surrounding structures i.e the eyes, the ears, the brain, the nose and the neck and does not work independently. It works in association with the surrounding structures. It is a very interesting and exciting course as you get to atudy the practical aspect more.
These days, dentists are in great demand here and abroad as well as people are paying more attention towards their oral heath and hygiene. This field is very promising too as it provides higher financial returns.

Now,about BAMS, it completely concerns with the Indian medical practices that were practised in the ancient times and are still in use today i.e AYURVEDA. It focuses on treating diseases and abnormalities with the herbs, plants and vegetables.
This course is also quite popular as people are turning towards the Ayurvedic medicine both in India as well as abroad because of the lesser side effects of this approach of medicine and natural healing properties.

You can choose out of these two, based upon your interest. The future scope in both of these courses is brilliant.

Hope this helps.
All the best:)
