Hello Aspirant,

It depends on the college you are getting into. BDS & BPT both are the different fields and depends on your interest. After complting BDS, the students learn & taught about the denture, dental problems and surgery and Physiotherapy is a science that helps improve movement dysfunction, and promote functions of the human body and optimal health.

Some of the options are mentioned below you can opt after completing BDS-

Set up private practice : A common option followed by many dentists who have passed and registered themselves with the Dental Council of India. This will require some amount of funds and a good location. It also will take sometime before the dentists can establish themselves.

Consultant: Working as a consultant with established hospitals is another option. Here, you would be like an employee who is required to take on the patients who visit the hospital for their dental problems.

Teaching: Generally freshers are not taken in for teaching. The job requires experienced doctors who can answer queries and teach well. However teaching is an option for dentists who have an inclination for it albeit after gaining some experience working as a dentist.

Further Study : Another option would be to go in for Masters in Dental Surgery. The specializations available like Oral Medicine, Diagnosis, and Radiology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics, Prosthodontics etc. allow dentist to choose the area in which they would like to mark their career.

Dentists can also pursue a management course like MHA (Masters in Hospital Administration) or MPH (Masters in Public Health). This will allow them to step into the management side of health organizations or hospital chains.

Physiotherapists get specialisations in the areas such as paediatrics, geriatrics, neurology, cardiorespiratory, and orthopaedics, A career in physiotherapy can lead to a variety of interesting and challenging jobs in the health care system.

Good Luck!
