Now that COVID has left my home, I spent most of this week feeling impending doom due to some upcoming dental work.

Extractions and filling will start on the lower left quadrant of my mouth in a few days in preparation for upper and lower partials. As a result, I will have some noticeably missing teeth for the holidays.
