No, you cannot practice psychiatry with only a dental degree. Psychiatry is a medical specialty that requires a medical degree (MD or DO), followed by a residency in psychiatry. While a dental degree provides expertise in oral health, it does not equip individuals with the necessary training in mental health and medical practices required to become a psychiatrist.
