Exactly 4 years ago today I had what can only be described as an utterly brutal extraction of half an upper molar by a dental surgeon (the other half had been removed by my regular dentist 2 weeks prior).

My plan was to replace the tooth, which had died from an internal crack, just a freak accident from biting something hard, with an implant.

And then the world went into lockdown.

On Wednesday, 4 years and 2 days since the original was removed, I get my new tooth installed.

So exciting!
