My antibiotics ran out yesterday, so I now have vague tooth ache in my wisdom tooth again

There is generally a shortage of doctors and dentists over here.
If you move here, I don't know how you actually get a dentist - Most will turn you away if you're not already registered with them.
My dentist couldn't remove my wisdom tooth, so I've been referred to a different dentist - Ironically a dentist I originally contacted and they turned me away.

Not experienced enough to perform the operation probably. How the fuck they gain the experience at first place?

Not sure how accurate this is, but there are apparently 46 dentists on the island for 60000~ people.
There are also only 3 people who do oral surgery, which probably explains why I had to be referred to a different dentist. The one I'm seeing is also retiring this year.

Travel to the mainland perhaps?

I guess younger dentists that have practices that, having scaled up, are more efficient.
