Dentistry

Hi
There are no Masters degree programmes in Dentistry in Germany because Dentistry is not split into Bachelors and Masters degrees. Dentistry programmes usually takes six years to complete and conclude with what we call the State Examination (Staatsexamen).

Hi Shravani,
To pursue your higher education in dentistry you must clear one of the two exams - ORE and PLAB. UKCAT may also be an option. Academic requirements are high and vary from school to school, you must visit every school or university web sites and also please research on the UCAS website too. You must apply through the UCAS portal. As an international student you must also clear the IELTS to study in UK. A score of around 7 is mostly required. I hope this was helpful.

X-rays, also called radiographs, are a valuable diagnostic tool. The oral/dental radiographs are often taken as a screening procedure in dental deformities in children. There is no standard timetable for when child's oral cavity should be X-rayed.
In case, child has many cavities and fillings or has a high risk of tooth decay, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends X-rays every six months. One has to make sure the shield covers child's neck to protect the thyroid gland to avoid the chances of damaging cells.

You should aim to secure at least 460 marks for a good private dental college, but cutoff varies along with different states.

A dentist earns an average salary of Rs.3.47 LPA. The experience strongly influences pay for this job.

Dear Aparna,
The requirements vary with dental schools and programs in Spain. You must visit respective university websites for details. Typically, international students must hold a Bachelors degree, take medical clearance tests, psychotechnic test and an admission interview. Additionally, you must also take IELTS. Spanish language classes are mostly offered by the schools. It is essential to learn Spanish for you to practice in future. Kindly, check University of Barcelona Faculty of Dentistry, Universidad Europea, Universidad de Granada, etc.

HI Rajbir, University based dental programs are either bachelor or master degrees. Diplomas in the form of associate degrees which are entry level programs are offered by community colleges. For BS programs in Dental Hygiene you may check Northern Arizona University, University of Maryland, Ferris State University, University of Michigan, Oregon Institute of Technology, University of Pittsburgh to name a few.

The only way to practice dentistry in UK is to pass ORE, a licensing exam conducted by British Dental Council. This exam is conducted twice a year (April and September) in UK.
