| Abstract: | ABSTRACT: Introduction: The choice of career is of the most important decision in one’s life. However the choice of dentistry may become forceful at times by peer pressure, cultural thrust or inability to procure medicine. Choosing dentistry as a career is one of the most difficult and stressful decisions among dental students in India due to the uncertainty of the career and fear of employment. The aim to the survey is to assess the various career perspective opted by Indian dentists post under graduation. Materials and method: A self-structured questionnaire of sixteen questions was designed to assess factors for choosing dentistry as a career and the future of the individual’s career was adapted from previous studies. The online questionnaire was distributed to the 86 interns of Saveetha Dental College, Chennai. The questions were designed in accordance with the factors pertaining to students’ decision in choosing a career after BDS; these included personal, economical, professional, and other factors. The data was collected and tabulated using Microsoft Excel. Results: 86 students answered the questionnaire containing 16 questions and based on career preferences, 85.9% of the participants wanted to continue in the field of dentistry after under graduation and 14.1% of the participants wanted to change their career to business and management and other streams of professionalism after BDS. Conclusion: The goal of an undergraduate course in dentistry is to train students to become ethical, skilled professionals capable of practicing dentistry on a level that is consistent with the expectations of society and to seek passion and interest in further higher studies pertaining to dentistry. From our study almost 86% of the participants were satisfied with their course of study and prefer further higher studies and 14% of the participants wanted a change in the career due to lack of interest towards dentistry.
