What do BDS, FCPS and MDS mean?
They are dental qualifications awarded in Pakistan. BDS is the primary dental degree every dentist holds; FCPS and MDS are postgraduate specialist qualifications, each earned in one field. Every dentist here holds BDS, and each specialist has a postgraduate qualification in the field they treat.
Qualifications say what a dentist is trained to do. For what it is like to be treated by them, see what patients say about our dentists .
- BDS
- Bachelor of Dental Surgery — the primary dental degree in Pakistan, and the qualification that makes someone a dentist. Every one of our dentists holds it.
- FCPS
- Fellowship of the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP) — the country's specialist qualification, earned through a multi-year hospital residency followed by a final examination. An FCPS dentist is a specialist rather than a general practitioner. Where a card above reads “FCPS Trained”, that dentist completed the specialist training in the field named beside it.
- MDS
- Master of Dental Surgery — a postgraduate specialist degree in dentistry. “MDS Trained” means the specialist training in that field was completed.
- PMDC
- Pakistan Medical & Dental Council — the statutory body that licenses every doctor and dentist in the country and maintains the public register. A registration number is the one credential a patient can check independently.
