I Think MPH is the best option.After graduating from dental school and then doing a Dental Hygiene or Technology course is probably not the right thing to do. Also the opportunities are better.

Not sure what you are asking? Dental graduate? graduate in what and from where? none of the three choices you mentioned will give you a DDS. MPH requires that you already have a DDS or DMD or state recognized foreign dental degree. The only way to get the DDS is to get into dental school. or find a state that recognizes foreign degree (but I am not sure if any states consider foreign degrees other than Canada in the USA).

yea...I'm a BDS 2002 graduate. Been away from dentistry all this time, now want to get back into the field, gave NBDE part 1 in 2002. No idea how I'm gonna fill this gap of almost 10 yrs. Was thinking to join MPH/hygiene/dental technology and take it from there ? wat do u think will be the best option?

I'm a little confused as to why you don't just apply for an IDDP program? 2 years for foreign trained dentists and you have your DMD/DDS
