Broadway Family Dentistry has been providing outstanding dental care to patients in the Minot area since 1983. We welcome you to our patient family and look forward to serving you and your family with comprehensive patient care. It is important to us that you are receiving the best dental care possible; therefore, every new patient receives a thorough oral exam by both the hygienist and dentist, an oral cancer screening, radiographs according to your age and dental needs, and a full mouth cleaning. With this information, we can together tailor a recommended treatment plan according to your needs.
We reserve a chair and our time exclusively for your treatment. If you can no longer attend your appointed time, please give our office twenty-four hours notice if possible. Without future notice, we cannot serve other patients and precious time is lost. Thank you for your help in keeping our practice efficient in use of our time and space.
Payment is required at the time of service. We accept cash, check and VISA/MASTER cards. Some dental insurance companies have benefits that may help with some of the charges during your first visit, so please bring your insurance card with you. We can also work with you to pre-pay or use Care Credit to help you finance your healthier smile. Unfortunately, we are not currently accepting any new Medicaid patients at this time. Additionally, we can not access Sanford Medicaid Expansion.
For families with young children, we believe it is important for them to be comfortable and safe at the dental office. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children be seen for a well-baby dental once their first tooth appears or at least by the childs first birthday. This exam helps to establish a dental home for your child and helps protect your childs smile now and in the future.

Dr. Jensen was wonderful to work with. My newborn daughter was having breastfeeding/ latch difficulties due to suspected tongue and lip tie. I called the office and Dr Jensen was able to see me the next day. She approached our initial appointment with such care and love--you could tell she genuinely cared about the importance of our breastfeeding journey while also understanding my emotions and concern over the suggested procedure. She answered all of our questions and even was able to do the procedure the same day so I didn't have to come back later that week (with a toddler and a newborn). She and her staff handled my daughter with love and care. My daughter nursed immediately following the procedure with so much more ease. Dr Jensen followed up with us the next day and ensured all was well. Overall I cannot express my gratitude to her enough--I would recommend her to any mother who is struggling with a painful, shallow or difficult latch!
