Yes - but you can not claim partner points - as both occupations require to be on the same SOL - which they are not.

The Dental Theripist can lodge EOI for 189, 190 & 489, Chemist only 190 & 489. (489 is only a provisional visa, if you pass the points test, I wouldnt lodge an EOI for the 489)

The 190 visa requires State Nomination - many states require you to apply for State Nomination after you lodge your EOI.

THe Dental Theripist has better chance of getting an Invitaion.
