Dentists Might Soon Work as Physicians

Dentists might soon be able to work as physicians.Representatives of dental associations are seeking approval of a three-year bridge course post completion of BDS from the MCI. This would enable dentists as a physician who has an MBBS degree. 

Dr Mahesh Verma, former president of the Dental Council of India, stated that like any MBBS student BDS students study anatomy and physiology for three years and can make good physicians. He also said with over 2.5 lakh dentists in the country (1:200 population ratio), the deficit of overall physicians will be reduced if the bridge course is approved.
