What Is a Family Dentist Responsible For?

A family dentist provides ongoing oral health care for patients of every age, from toddlers to grandparents. Unlike pediatric or general dentists who often focus on a specific age range or type of treatment, family dentists deliver a complete continuum of care throughout a patient’s lifetime.

At Jensen Family Dental, Dr. Nathan Jensen and Dr. Madalyn DuPlessis take time to understand each patient’s dental history, current condition, and future goals. Their role includes:

• Diagnosing and treating oral health issues such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth damage
• Performing preventive cleanings, fluoride treatments, and exams to maintain long-term health
• Monitoring growth and development in children and teens
• Creating individualized treatment plans that adapt to each life stage

This comprehensive approach allows families to build trusted, lasting relationships with their dental team while receiving care that truly fits their needs.

What Services Are Included in Family Dental Care?

Family dental care includes a wide range of treatments designed to keep every member of the family healthy and confident. At Jensen Family Dental, we provide the following categories of care:

Preventive Services
