Career opportunities:

Once graduates of the Dental Surgery BDS degree have qualified, and subject to registration with the GDC, there are a number of different careers open to you. Everybody needs to undergo a period of foundation training, whatever branch of dentistry they initially take up.

You could go into:

general practice – most graduates initially join a Dental Foundation Programme where you will join an established practice and work with a trainer who will guide you in those early months

publicly funded services – the Community Dental Service is a complimentary service to the general dental services. Dental Officers working in this publicly funded service provide dental care for those people either unwilling or unable to obtain care elsewhere
