Hi aspirant
You might be having a hard time, choosing between BDS and BAMS.
BDS is Bachelor of dental surgeries.
BAMS is Bachelor of Ayurvedic medicine and surgeries.
  • Both courses are professional courses recognized by the government of India.
  • Both courses are quite popular these days.
  • Both concern with the field of medicine.
  • Both courses are long courses. BDS is a 5 year long course including 1 year of compulsory clinical internship while BAMS is a 5.5 year long course comprising of 1 year of compulsory clinical internship.
However, both these courses are quite different despite of the similarities listed above.
BDS deals with the study of human teeth, surrounding structures, diseases affecting the soft and hard tissues of the mouth and diseases and abnormalities of oral and paraoral structures. It is an extensive study of the huam oral cavity. The oral cavity which appears quite small is a major part of the human body. It is in close association with the vital surrounding structures i.e the eyes, the ears, the brain, the nose and the neck. In fact, there is a specialization at the post graduation level i.e Oral and maxillofacial surgeon. It is a very interesting and exciting course as it quite practically valid. These days, dentists are in great demand as people are growing more conscious and aware of their oral health and hygiene. If this subject interests you, you can choose to pursue it. Also, it is a quite promising field.

Now, talking about BAMS, it completely deals 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. It does not use drugs from a synthetic source.
This course is also quite popular as people are switching towards the Ayurvedic medicine both in India as well as abroad. Because of the less side effects of ayurvedic medicine and natural healing properties people are finding it to be a better alternative to allopathic medicine.

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

Hope this helps.
All the best:)

Dear aspirant,

The course that you want to choose is dependent on what you want to do in future. If you are interested in ayurveda and you believe that there is a strong healing capacity in ayurveda then go for bams. You'll be able to find opportunities and grow. If you don't believe in Ayurvedic medicine then please choose bds. You'll be able to find scopes in whatever field you choose as long as you are interested.

Hope this helps
