dentist
A dentist is a person who practices and prompts dental hygiene;
they are trained professionals who take care of teeth, mouth, and gums. Having
a regular visit to the dentist helps in maintaining a good level of oral
health. They not only help in the impairments but also take care of tooth
decay, filling cavities and providing necessary treatment for it. Also helps in
developing facial features if there is any problem related to it.

system of the head and neck.

undergraduate course and awarded with the Bachelor of DentalSurgery, many students are in a dilemma to choose over BDS Or
MBBS though there is a common entrance test.

The important factor is the fee structure; it's comparatively less compared to
MBBS, it is cost-effective compared to MBBS.

stress-free job compared to MBBS. The dentist doesn’t have any emergency calls,
as they have to deal with infection and toothache. Dental is a good profession
for females.
