Just like how dentists who use laughing gas are required to have admitting privileges at a hospital with an ER within 30 miles, to protect the safety of dental patients.

Dentists aren't medical doctors and don't have admitting privileges - that requires a medical doctor's signature. If a procedure is deemed risky enough, most either consult with an oral surgeon (a medical doctor) or refer the patient out to an oral surgeon. If the procedure is both risky and the patient, himself, is high risk, then they have the option to perform the procedure in the hospital.

Next, you'll be telling me that personal trainers need admitting privileges at a hospital...
