| The Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS)Course prepares students
for patient- oriented dental practice which includes early
detection, treatment and prevention of oro-dental diseases.
Students develop a spirit of inquiry that leads them to seek
better ways to promote and preserve Dental, oral and general
Health. The primary goal of our institution is to prepare
dentists who are well versed in basic medical and dental sciences,
skilled in the exercise of clinical care with latest modalities
of dental treatment and, above all, are sensitive to the needs
of their patients with a humane touch.
To this end, the curriculum combines course work and a series
of planned, practical learning exercises in medical/dental
laboratories and clinics in the college as per guidelines
laid down by the Dental Council of India, New Delhi &
Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot.
