The Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) is an undergraduate professional degree program that focuses on dental science and oral health care. It encompasses a comprehensive curriculum covering subjects such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, microbiology, dental materials, dental anatomy, pharmacology, periodontology, orthodontics, oral surgery, and community dentistry. BDS programs combine theoretical learning with practical clinical training to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies required for dental practice. Students engage in hands-on experiences through laboratory work, clinical rotations, and supervised patient care under the guidance of experienced faculty members and dental professionals. Upon completion of the BDS program and subsequent licensure, graduates are qualified to practice dentistry independently or in collaboration with other healthcare professionals. They provide a wide range of dental services, including preventive care, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of oral health conditions, thereby contributing to the promotion of overall health and well-being within communities.
