BDS vs MDS – MDS After BDS (Yes or No)

Does almost every BDS Graduate face this dilemma that Should he do MDS or not? And nowadays this question comes to mind whether MDS is worth it or not because doing MDS is very costly, time-consuming and full of struggle.

In this video, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of MDS. Like any other master’s degree, MDS is also a way to achieve specialized education in any one of the dental subjects. After the first specialization, you will get better knowledge and experience of your subject.

Advantages of MDS

1.  No one can challenge you in that field of yours.

2. Any day MDS compared to BDS will get priority in the job whether it is a government job or private.

3. If you like teaching then MDS gives you a way in academics.

4. Clinic After MDS.

As patients are becoming educated, they are demanding for specialized treatment.
No doubt you will get a plus point in metropolitan cities in comparison to other clinics.

5.Working in Partnership
Most of the time big hospitals outsource the dental department and they give that department to post-graduation. So you have an extra advantage.

6. Pursue a higher degree in India or Abroad
If you want to go to research work then MDS will open door to this.
7. At the last Personal Satisfaction
Satisfaction may be different for everyone. Someone can have money, someone can have both money and passion and for someone, it can only be passion.

Disadvantages of MDS

1.Time
Your three will pass just to get only one degree. If you are not a bright student then after three years also you will find yourself on the level of BDS only.

2. Going Abroad
Further, if you want to go to a developed country like America then you will have to clear the DDS exam which takes complete 2 years.

3. Very less salary in the private sector
Nowadays young MDS get very less salary in which no one can live a good life.

4. Almost the same struggle if you open a clinic
In India, there is very little thing called specialty. It rarely happens that a dentist is sending you a patient of RCT. And by performing the only RCT they prefer those patients to Prosthodontist. So, to open a clinic you need to know all basic procedures.
