Hey

Dentistry is the science of diagnoses, prevention and treatment of diseases related to the teeth, jaws and soft tissues of the mouth. Treatment includes restorative dentistry, which focuses on correcting problems of the teeth caused mainly by dental decay (cavity), and fixing the position of the teeth in relation to each other and to the jawbones. Dentists also treat injuries, infections, tumours and other conditions of the teeth, jawbones and related tissues. Aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry offers restorative treatments simply to improve a patient’s appearance

How do I get there?
Take physics, chemistry and biology at the plus two level and then clear the pre-medical entrance examination of states/boards/institutions. After the five-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) course, you can go in for a postgraduate degree. There are several specialisations to choose from. The Indian Dental Association organises various continuing dental education (CDE) programmes where one can update one’s knowledge of modern dentistry.
