ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Life of a health care professional revolves around many influencing factors. Health care professional quality of life is of utmost importance; because they are the individuals who bring changes in the health care and society. METHODS This cross-sectional survey used World Health Organization (WHO) QOL-BREF questionnaire which assesses QOL in physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains which was distributed to general dental practitioners, specialists, and consultants, working in both public and private sectors. The completed questionnaires were coded and analysed using the SPSS IBM software version 23. RESULTS Males had better QOL in physical health, psychological, and social relationships domains of the WHOQOL-BREF. Married dentists had better QOL than singles on the physical health, psychological, and environmental domains. QOL of consultants was better than specialists and general practitioners on all domains. Furthermore, consultants reported statistically significantly better QOL on the physical health, psychological, and social relationships domains. CONCLUSIONS Most of the participating dentists felt that they had good quality of life irrespective of gender and work grades.
