The first question is 'would I be allowed to practice under these conditions in Mauritius'?
The answer seems 'No' since you're only earning 35,000 MUR a month as salary. The second hurdle is obtaining clearance from the Medical and Dental Council.
My take : irrespective of how much dentists earn on the island, the salary level is too low to get an Occupation Permit.

Nadeem isn't the occupational permit a responsibility of employer ?
what i was concerned from my side is the 35k Mur decent enough to start in mauritius? or should i negotiate with employer to raise the salary.

Nadeem was trying to saying a pay of MUR 35,000 per month won't get you an occupational permit in Mauritius. That's because expats are expected to earn a minimum of MUR 60k per month before getting the permit, except for jobs in IT with a minimum of 30k.
