I think that the visa are applicable in the same way in which students are allowed in the USA. First, the process of admission and then going in for visa may be common. Please, check with the Indian Consulate nearest to you.

Hi Parv,
US does not recognize a dental license from India. The person must complete DDS from USA and be licensed through one of the boards (eastern, california, etc.) to be able to practice .Colleges which offer Advanced Standing Program (DDS/DMD) to foreign trained dentists require at least NDEB Part I. Most of the dental schools which offer this program require at least 83%.Foreign dental students can get into the Advanced Placement program of DDS wherein they join in the 2nd year of the program.
Typically, yearly expenses are in the range of US $ 80,000 to one lakh dollar. So, a two year program will cost US $1,60,000 to US $200,000.

Hi Rati,
Traditionally, those who do net get admission in MBBS, go for BDS. But now a days, there is a huge scope for BDS if you can have your own clinic with modern equipment.
Plain MBBS will not do unless you follow it up with MD/MS. If you compare salaries in hospitals, MBBS will always get higher remunerations compared to BDS.
Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful.
Wish You Luck!

The thing that matters the most is college from where you pursue your medical program be it BDS or MBBS. Either go for any good govt college or private universities like Santosh University,
JIPMER ,Pondicherry etc. Good luck!

Hi Rati,
If you feel like going overseas that is outside India you can go ahead with the course of your desired country. If you have got good management skills you can opt for hospital management courses provided by many private and government universities. You can get into research n get jobs in any pharmaceutical company or company dealing with dental materials. Business of dental materials, products and dental equipment and last but not the least leave apart dentistry and start up fresh for something new which i don't think is a great idea.

Hi Rati,
Bachelor of Dental Hygiene (BDH) is a one-year degree completion program. This program is conducted only in abroad. In India after completion of this course you won't get a job pr practice as a Dentist.
While The duration of Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) course is 4-5 years of study in Indian colleges & universities.

Hi Parv,
You can practice dentistry in Canada. Foreign-trained dentists like in India apart from education, license, or experience, you need to have the Canadian licence to practice dentistry in Canada.

Dentists working in Switzerland on a temporary basis (for a maximum of 3 months) in a self employed capacity (so-called service providers) are required to have
