Dentistry is a separate course to Medicine. You do not require an MBBS to get into Dentistry.

In many countries and decades ago, Dentistry was considered an medical speciality, however, due to a lack of Dentist, it has now evolved into a separate course.

As for the Bachelor of Oral Health, it is VERY limited to basic Dentistry. The ENTER/ATAR requirement is about 15-20 points lower (80-85).
You can transfer to Dentistry after completing the BOH, however, you will have to go through the process like any one else.
GAMSAT, interview, GPA scores etc.

i wouldn't recommend doing oral health as an alternative to dentistry (unless you're happy to be a oral health therapist or hygenist). The difference in the scope of work can be quite significant and doing it as your undergrad course doesn't really increase your chances of getting into post grad dentistry. (this doesn't apply to the BOH majoring in Dental Science at Griffith though)
