Different stages. Different questions. Explore topics to discuss with our team and find a helpful place to begin.
Children
A first dental conversation can start with getting comfortable, asking questions, and learning what care may be appropriate. Call our team to confirm the ages we currently see and the right setting for your child’s needs.
A child’s first visit
An educational look at the conversation, not a fixed appointment plan.
Talk about the office, the people, and any concerns. Share what helps your child feel at ease.
Discuss your child’s needs and ask what an age-appropriate visit may involve. The team will explain the next steps.
Ask for guidance on brushing, cleaning between teeth, and everyday habits that fit your child’s age and needs.
Review any recommended care or follow-up with the team. Visit timing and any referrals depend on individual needs.
Please call to confirm age eligibility and available care before arranging a child’s visit.
Teens
Changing routines bring new questions. Talk with our team about preventive care, brushing and cleaning between teeth, and any concerns about a teen’s smile. We’ll help clarify available care and whether a specialist assessment may be appropriate.
Adults
Start with what matters to you: keeping up with preventive care, understanding a damaged tooth, or exploring changes to your smile. Your dental evaluation helps shape a plan around your oral health and priorities.
Older adults
Your needs can change over time. Bring questions about your teeth, gums, existing restorations, dry mouth, or caring for a denture. The right next step depends on your oral health, comfort, and individual circumstances.
A lifetime of healthy smiles
Follow the stages to explore care topics. Your dentist recommends a schedule and approach for your individual needs.

Family dentistry FAQs

Legacy offers general and family dentistry in Eagle River. Call to discuss the ages and types of visits you have in mind. The team can confirm who can be seen, the services available, and whether a referral may be appropriate for an individual’s needs.
An introductory dental visit may include getting familiar with the setting, an examination of the teeth and mouth, and guidance for home care. The approach depends on the child’s age, comfort, and oral health. Ask Legacy what is appropriate and available before arranging the visit.
There is no single schedule for every family member. A dentist recommends follow-up based on each person’s oral health, history, and risk factors. Ask what interval is recommended for you and when to call sooner if something changes.
Let the office know before the visit. Explain any concerns and ask how the team can prepare, explain the visit, and discuss suitable comfort options. The plan should be based on the child’s needs; a pain-free or anxiety-free visit cannot be guaranteed.

A conversation or examination is needed to determine the appropriate next step; this page does not establish treatment eligibility.
