A friend of mine broke his tooth on Friday evening. He went to a local hospital emergency room and was given pain meds and told to see his dentist first thing Monday morning. Why can't hospitals provide emergency dental care !
--------------------------------------------------
Because our greedy health care system is horrible ! While a broken tooth isn't exactly an emergency it is crucial to get immediate dental care to have a chance to save a tooth. If you have to wait two or three days to see your dentist, chances are you'll lose a tooth that probably could have been saved.
It's a sad situation that our health care system is so expensive, so horrible and above not accessible to everyone.
When doctors offices are closed the only other place to get medical attention is via hospital emergency rooms and while some medical issues may not be emergency in nature, where else can you get treatment after hours.

How come hospitals don't have dental departments for after hours emergency dental care ?
