Dear aspirant,

The dental profession is a noble profession. It takes years of devotion towards the subject of dentistry to get the graduate degree of Bachelor of Dental Surgery. However, even after such painstaking efforts the current situation of dental graduates in India is grave. There are a lot of issues that are the main cause for this problem. The dental graduates are in a state of crisis due to lack of support from the Government. If this situation continues it will lead to a negative effect on the integrity of the dental profession, and highly trained dental manpower of the country will go in vain.

Reasons for the current crisis

There are a lot of factors that have led to the present crisis in the dental graduates. Some of these factors could be associated with lack of interest in dental practice, random distribution of dental colleges all over the country, a lack of Government jobs, high competition in private practice, costly equipment's, lack of awareness about oral health in Indian public, very few postgraduate seats in Government colleges, very high fees for the private colleges, etc.

Hope the answer is helpful.

Good luck!
