What are the disadvantages of BDS?

A Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program, while offering a rewarding career path, also presents some challenges. These include the high cost of education, the potential for significant student debt, and the physically demanding nature of the work. Additionally, dentists face exposure to infections and diseases, long working hours, and the need to be on-call for emergencies. Some find the limited scope of BDS compared to MBBS restrictive, and the need to invest in a private practice can be a barrier.
