Pediatric dentistry is more than just treating small teeth — it’s about building healthy habits, establishing trust, and setting your child up for a lifetime of good oral health. Our entire staff has received specialized training in the care of primary and developing teeth, and every member of our team genuinely loves working with children. We know how to communicate with kids in a way that feels calm and reassuring, not clinical or scary.
Dr. Kojo Danso leads our practice with a deep commitment to both clinical excellence and patient comfort. Board certified by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Danso brings advanced training and a warm, patient-centered approach to every appointment. Whether your child is coming in for their very first visit, a routine cleaning and exam, or a more involved procedure, you can count on our team to go at your child’s pace and make the experience a positive one.
Our Approach to Children’s Dental Health
We believe every child’s smile is unique. That’s why we take a personalized approach to each patient, listening carefully to parent concerns and tailoring treatment to match each child’s individual needs, temperament, and stage of development. We never rush appointments or push children past what they’re comfortable with. Our goal is to build confidence — visit by visit — so your child grows up viewing dental care as something to feel good about.
We also take time during every appointment to educate parents on the best home care practices for their child’s age and development. From proper brushing techniques for toddlers to cavity prevention strategies for school-age kids, we want you to leave every visit feeling informed and empowered.

Our Commitment to Your Child’s Comfort
Your child’s comfort is always our first priority. We have designed our office to be a child-friendly, welcoming space — a place where kids feel curious and at ease rather than anxious.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cherry Creek Pediatric Dentistry
What age should my child first see a pediatric dentist?
We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit within six months of their first tooth appearing, or by their first birthday — whichever comes first. Starting early helps us identify any developing concerns and builds a positive relationship with dental care from the very beginning.
What makes a pediatric dentist different from a general dentist?
Pediatric dentists complete two to three additional years of specialized training beyond dental school, focused specifically on the oral health of infants, children, and adolescents. This includes training in child psychology, development, and how to care for children with special needs. At Cherry Creek Pediatric Dentistry, our entire practice is dedicated exclusively to pediatric patients.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
Most children benefit from dental visits every six months for a routine cleaning and exam. However, some children with a higher risk of cavities or developing dental concerns may need to come in more frequently. We’ll let you know what schedule makes the most sense for your child.
Do you see children with special needs?
Yes. Cherry Creek Pediatric Dentistry warmly welcomes children with a wide range of special needs, including autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, cleft lip and palate, and other medical or developmental conditions. Our team has specialized training and our office is fully wheelchair accessible.
What if my child is nervous about going to the dentist?
Dental anxiety is very common in children, and our team is experienced in helping kids feel calm and comfortable. We use gentle language, move at your child’s pace, and offer a child-friendly environment designed to reduce fear. For procedures that require extra support, we also offer sedation and sleep dentistry options.
Do you accept dental insurance?
Yes, we accept a wide range of insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, CHP+, Delta Dental, MetLife, Principal, United Concordia, United Healthcare, and many more. Visit our financial options page to learn more, or call our office at (303) 757-8844 with any insurance questions.
How can I prepare my child for their first dental visit?
Talk about the visit in a positive, matter-of-fact way. Read books about going to the dentist, play pretend “dentist” at home, and let your child know that the dentist is there to help keep their teeth healthy and strong. Our team will take it slow and make sure your child feels at ease from the moment they walk in the door.
