Poor eating habits and lack of nutritional knowledge are crucial public health issues that have serious health implications, through proper dietary education for their patient's, dentists play a significant role in preventing nutritional-related diseases. Aim and Objective: The current study set to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) on diet counseling among dental practitioners. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study using a pre-tested structured questionnaire written in English, which includes 25 questions based on knowledge of the dental practitioners about diet and nutrition counseling, which were given to 200 participants and the participants asked to respond to each item. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software 21.0 and presented as descriptive statistics and Logistic Regression (p < 0.05%). Results: Of the subjects, 78% agreed that nutrition was a vital component of total health care. However, only 46.8% of the participants reported that they had received adequate training in diet counseling. Most of the subjects agreed that diet counseling needed to be emphasized in dental education, 28.9%, and only 40% of the participants expressed their confidence in rendering diet counseling to their patients. Conclusion: The present study concluded that most of the participating subjects had basic knowledge regarding diet and its importance in oral health. Lack of confidence, time, and apprehension about financial reimbursement were three main reasons cited as obstacles for the incorporation of diet counseling in routine clinical practice.
