20 STEPS TO DDS : THE AMERICAN DREAM

THE AMERICAN DREAM………………………………
“Dreams are not those that we see in sleep, but those that don’t let us sleep” 

Intro :

DDS is a dream which so many of us budding dentists and established dentists wish to live. With this dream in my eyes too, I started on this long journey during my internship. But every step seemed to be clouded with doubts and queries.

I was blessed to have some great senior friends to guide. I can never thank them enough. So, to express my gratitude, I am here to pen down my experience which I hope benefits you all and atleast answers some of the queries you may have.

Article :

Like most of us, I was also confused with-‘What after BDS?’ DDS or MDS?

I wanted to go-in for DDS but then the million dollar question was still unanswered.

YES!!!…The question of d million dollars which is needed to do DDS!!!

[stextbox id="info"]1st thing to do :  (DIRECT ROUTE )[/stextbox]

Well this is first thing you all should be make sure- that you have a co-signer from US to help you with loan if you need one to pursue your studies.

[stextbox id="info"]MPH Route : ( INDIRECT ROUTE )[/stextbox]

Some people prefer to go by the route of BDS-MPH (Master’s in Public Health)-DDS. So, if you wish to opt for this route then you need to take GRE.

Benefits of MPH- – You would be in US, so easier to take your exam and for application procedure and interviews later for DDS
-You would have MPH as US degree to enhance your resume .

Disadvantages-  More investment is needed in terms of both money and time . I didn’t go through this process, so, can’t really guide much with it.
