which state have highest scope for dentist in India. which branch have more scope

Hi

Dentistry is the known as dental or oral medication a branch of medical science dealing with study, prevention,  and treatment of oral conditions.

A person can become a dentist after completing their bds degree from any reputed medical institution.

I think you are asking about which state provides better career opportunities for dentist. As for that all the state in india provide you great career opportunities for dentists apart from that

Utter pradesh

Maharastra

Karnataka

Andra Pradesh

Are some of the better options

Being a dentist is a good career choice and is a lucrative job. You can do your mds after bds which will provide you good clinical knowledge. You can go for Mba in hospital management.  You can go for mph or masters of public health after bds, it has the potential for you to go abroad and in india also many companies and government sectors recruit masters in public health graduates

Dear student,.                                                                                                                                                                 As far as I know, dentists can wear a white coat and a stethoscope . white coat is necessary from the first day of your college.                                             You should be wearing an half sleeve white coat ( apron ) till your final year.                                You can use a stethoscope from your  third academic year. After clearing final year exams you have to do one year internship in your college itself.                                                                                             During your internship,you need to wear a full-sleeved white coat ( apron ) and even if you do PG you will have to wear a full sleeve apron all the time.                                                                                                                                                                                  Some of the PG departments have different kinds of uniform but after PG ,when you open your own clinic or when you will b working in any hospital you should wear an apron all the time.                                                                                                   There are 9 departments in dentistry, only wen you are doing PG in specific departments you will not b wearing an apron .                                                                                                                                         Whole your UG section you should wear an apron and even in PG in some particular departments.                                                                                                                  ALL THE BEST.

I want to became dentist in Canada and complete my BDS degree from Canada itself after completing my 12th with full scholarship, so can you please guide me to full fill my dream

aditya 26th Apr, 2021

hello kashish

I hope you are doing good. I would glad to inform you that recieving scholarship for international to do medical courses in from medical schools in canada is not an easy task . For scholarships procedure, you must have an outstanding profile not only through academics and but ini some othert things also .  Large no. of candidates  apply for full funded scholarships every year , and 100 percent tutiion fee waiver scholarships are very less in number . So I would advise you boosts your profile by having strong and decent  STATEMENT OF PURPOSE, CERTIFICATE OF SOME EXTRA CIRUCULAR ACTIVITIES LIKE NGOs , INTERNSHIPS and if you are 12th pass out so you wont be having any work expeirence but try to score high band in english proficiency test

Hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck for your future
