If you want to teach... NBDE and DDS are not mandatory. You will probably get a teaching position at most universities. However, the position you will get at dental schools will not be clinical and will be mostly part-time i.e. if you have just a BDS. Also, you cannot move up the ladder if you don't have further education or a PhD to get some grants for the school through research.
Your teaching position in dental assisting and dental hygiene schools will give you pretty good money if you are a full time faculty. Also, it is easy to get a full-time position in assisting and hygiene schools. I found great satisfaction in teaching full time at assisting and hygiene schools. Sometimes, hindsight asks me why I quit to go back to dental school? Anyway, everything happens for a reason. I will go back to teach part-time until I pay off my loans and maybe consider getting a full-time position.
