Mom Approved Dental Professionals

We’ve made it our goal to find the Best Dentists…

…in the Bluegrass in the best way we know how – with help from our readers. Moms know better than anyone else which dentists go the extra mile for their patients.

So we polled our readers, listened to what they had to say and compiled our list of Mom-Approved Dentists.

Next up – Mom-Approved Medical Specialists (allergists, ENTs,  optometrists, orthopedists, physical therapists, etc.). To have your voice heard, visit www.lexingtonfamily.com and nominate your favorites.  That list will run in our July issue.
