A dentist CV in Nepal lists the Nepal Medical Council registration first — dental surgeons register with the NMC, and a clinic owner checks it before anything else. Then it names procedures one by one, because 'general dentistry' does not tell anyone whether you can do a molar root canal on your own. The example above follows that order for a BDS graduate, and the same format works for a dentist resume in India with your State Dental Council registration.

Dentist CV for freshers
A fresher dentist CV leads with the BDS and registration, then the internship with case numbers straight from your logbook — restorations, extractions, scalings, supervised root canals. Add school or community dental camps with the number of patients screened, and any short courses. A clinic hiring a new dentist wants to see safe basics and how you talk to patients.
