Hello

Both bds and bams have there own importance .let us see on a wider prospect:

Bams allows you to practice only in ayurvedic medicine. Ayurvedic treatment, people see them after not been cured by allopathy.such low importance are give now a days. They see ayurvedic for wellness and relaxation..and not as a main stream

Future: now people mindset is changing and now a days people also go for ayurvedic medicine as you know many brand has been established during a short period of. 5 year like jiva , pantanjali...

BDS have a good scope than bams as bds  is a specialist in a particular part . Demand of dentists is more than ayurvedic doctor. But here competition is more as we find more Number of dentists are available in every corner of our city..

So both are good the thing is the interest. If you are more interested in ayurvedic part than go for bams if you are interested in dental part than go for bds..

Feel free to ask

Good Luck...

Thanks for asking the question !

BDS:

Actually many Dentists end up earning more than any other speciality doctors..however, a very small fraction of total number of dentists can do this. Moreover ,it has practice oriented curriculum.Sorted life as you may not have emergency duty like other branches.. High earning potential with newer and newer techniques, equipment and material coming into the market.

BAMS:

You get to learn whole about medicine, not restricted only to a particular region as in BDS . Ayush doctors are employable in MO roles in government. You may find a niche and only do consulting in that area to earn more. There is a trend in high society to adopt Ayurvedic..especially in skin disorders, chronic diseases and for prevention purposes to boost immunity as a whole. Collaboration with naturopathy, yoga and fitness clubs will be an amazing opportunity.

It's your choice what you want to do…as far as what is happening in the market, graduates from both streams are trying to find alternative careers in public health, hospital management or general management as there is saturation of BDS and BAMS in the market…

Hope this helps:)
