Dental offices have been given the approval to reopen provided they meet certain requirements. Dr. Julie Watts McKee, the chief dental officer for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, explains what changes a patient might see when they show up for their next dental appointment. #TeamKentucky #TogetherKY
Our community has been through a lot over the last couple of months. While many things have changed, one thing remains the same: our commitment to your safety!
In addition to infection control protocols already in place, you may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff.
•You will be asked screening questions when your appointment is made and again when you arrive at our office.
•Temperatures will be taken upon arrival.
•All patients entering the office are required to wear masks or face coverings. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN.
•Patients will wait in their cars and contact the office when you arrive.
•Only the patient and one parent or legal guardian may enter the office.
•We will have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter.
•Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients.
•Please be patient as we adjust to these additional precautions to keep us all safe.
We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we are taking to keep you safe in our office. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors, and friends.
Perhaps you have seen that dental offices can re-open on Monday, April 27, 2020. However, the safety of our patients and staff is very important; therefore, we are not fully prepared to open at this time. We will take this week to implement new guidelines mandated by the Kentucky Board of Dentistry to insure the health and safety of our patients amid the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to take emergency calls this week and look forward to seeing patients on Monday, May 4, 2020.

Have a fang-tastic Halloween!
This is why Dr. Coleman emphasizes gum health: to help take care of your whole tooth.
Happy Friday! Did you know squirrels are always gnawing or nibbling on things because their teeth never stop growing? The gnawing helps file down their teeth.
Happy Monday! We are going to start featuring a business on Main Street or in the downtown area on Monday and call it #MainStMondays! We already have a few in mind, but we'd love to hear from you what businesses you'd like us to feature, too. Send us a direct message with your choice!
Downtown Richmond is getting into the holiday spirit! #MainStMonday
Have you been able to take a walk to enjoy this beautiful weather?
Dr. Coleman and staff are thankful that you're a part of the Dentistry on Main family. What are you thankful for this year?
Our office is getting in the Christmas spirit! Do you have your decorations up yet?
Our first #MainStMonday feature is Purdy's Coffee Co. We can't wait for their Main St. location to reopen soon, but in the meantime, we'll just head a bit further down the road to Big Hill Ave. to get our coffee fix!
We love this photo of EKU blanketed in snow. What are your favorite things about Winter?
The Madison County Public Library is our next #MainStMonday feature! The library has done an amazing job staying engaged with and finding new ways to serve the community throughout the pandemic. Thank you for all you do!
We can't believe Christmas is just next week! Do you have any fun traditions leading up to the big day?
Madison Garden Bar and Grill is our next #MainStMonday feature. They'll be open again on Wednesday for in-person dining!
We'd love to see your photos of downtown Richmond for today's #MainStMonday!

Merry Christmas from Dentistry on Main! We hope each and every one of you has a wonderful holiday!
#MainStMonday this week is about The Paddy Wagon Irish Pub! They're ready to serve up great food and libations once again.
2021 is your year! Happy New Year from Dr. Coleman and staff!
Some dentistry terms might be confusing. Here's a great infographic about the different types of restorative dentistry.
Thank you, Beth, for your kind words!
We're heading a little off Main St. for this week's #MainStMonday to Straight From Texas Bar B Que! A wonderful family-owned business with delicious daily specials. Give them a try!
We're going across town for this week's #MainStMonday to Scrubsies! We appreciate their excellent customer service and how soft their scrubs are!
What local businesses would you like to see featured for #MainStMonday? Comment below, or send us a message!
Did you know coconuts are a natural anti-bacterial food and can help reduce the risk of developing gum disease and cavities? So grab a coconut and pretend like you're on a beach...it's good for you mental and oral health!
Flossing is just as important as brushing! Flossing once per day will reduce plaque and lower gum inflammation.
Smile more, love more. Happy Valentine's Day from Dr. Coleman and staff!
Thank you, Olga! We really appreciate the great feedback.
We are closed today, and hope everyone stays safe at home!
We will be closed tomorrow due to the weather, stay safe!
With the office being closed, Dr. Coleman got to partake in his family's snow day tradition - homemade doughnuts! With teenage boys in the house, they go quick. Who thinks Dr. Coleman should bring some in for patients to be the test tasters?!
Our office is closed due to the Winter weather, stay safe everyone!
Fruits and vegetables are not only good for your heart, but crunchy fruits and vegetables are good for your mouth as well!
You may have been taught to open wide while brushing your teeth as a kid, but as an adult, try closing your lips to brush. You'll notice a few things right away: you’ll have an easier time brushing the back of your teeth; you’ll gag less; and your mirror will be a heck-of-a-lot cleaner because you won’t be splashing toothpaste all over it as you brush.
We love hearing from our patients!
Happy Dentists Day, Dr. Coleman! We appreciate all that you do for your team and patients!
We are feeling extra lucky today to have patients like you!
Managing your stress levels is crucial to your overall health, but especially to the health of your teeth. All that pressure and grinding wears down not only the surface, but the bone and connective tissue too. This leads to the loss of teeth, and some pretty unsightly cosmetic concerns when the grinding occurs in the front of the mouth.
We're venturing down 3rd Street for this week's #MainStMonday! Jackson's Restaurant is a great place to get some home cookin'!
