Introduction to Bachelor of Dental Surgery-

 

BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) is a five-year undergraduate programme. The duration of this degree will be four years for theory and one year for a rotatory internship. The Dental Council of India (DCI) governs dental education in India. The potential for BDS in India and internationally is enormous given that oral health is one of the major concerns for everyone in the modern world. Every month or two, people prefer to go to the dentist for a checkup on their oral health. In India, the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) programme has a very broad reach and is expanding quickly every day. It relies on the abilities, qualifications, and environment of the particular aspirant as well as where they are practicing. We have been working in the book distribution business for 54 years now and this experience has helped us to reach as many students as we can to provide them with their desired book and become a successful medical professional.
