hello,
Hope you are doing well.
Coming to your question, This should be decided based upon your interest as both the MBBS and BDS courses have their own advantages.
Duration of Course for MBBS is 5.5 years (including 1-year internship) and for BDS is 5 years ( including 1-year internship).
The eligibility criteria for both MBBS and BDS is that the student must have completed Class 12th with Biology, Physics, and Chemistry with at least 50%
The student has to qualify in entrance examinations like NEET-UG, AIIMS, JIPMER
If you wish to groom your career in the dentistry stream then I suggest that you opt for BDS.
Please refer to the below link for more details:

In the end it all depends on which area you want to specialise in.
Hope you found the answer helpful
Hello!
For both the degrees you will have to work hard. When it comes to MBBS you should definitely go for specialization where you will have different choices to choose like cardiologist, pediatrician etc. But when it comes to BDS you can go for masters(higher studies) only in that particular field. Both professions are equally important. MBBS will have a bit extra pressure than BDS. Choose wisely, ALL THE BEST. Hope my answer was helpful.
THANK YOU

Hello. It completely depends upon your interest. If you have interest in the studies about teeth, then you must opt for BDS.
It has a great scope abroad. Even in India, dentists are paid alot and their demand is increasing.
Just in case, MBBS requires lots of money to setup , study and get professionally appointed.
Whereas, BDS you can get employed very fast, as their are many government schemes running for welfare of village people. So getting an experience under that will really profit you. At the end , it's all your choice.
Hope that helps!
