Preventive Dental Care for Children

Prevention is the foundation of everything we do at Cherry Creek Pediatric Dentistry. We believe that building healthy habits early is the best way to protect your child’s smile for life. Our preventive services are designed to stop dental problems before they start — and to catch any concerns early when they’re easiest to treat.

Our preventive services include dental cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, cavity prevention, digital X-rays, and panoramic X-rays. During every visit, we also provide personalized guidance on at-home brushing and flossing, diet, and what to expect as your child’s teeth continue to develop.

Restorative Dental Services for Kids

When treatment is needed, we approach it with the same gentleness and care that defines everything we do. Our restorative services repair and protect damaged or decayed teeth using the most conservative, child-appropriate methods available.

Restorative services at Cherry Creek Pediatric Dentistry include cavities and fillings, tooth-colored fillings, white zirconia dental crowns, tooth extractions, dental bonding, and veneers. We use materials that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing, so your child’s smile looks natural and healthy.

Do you provide dental care for children with special needs?

What is hospital sleep dentistry and when is it recommended?

Hospital sleep dentistry uses general anesthesia to allow children to receive necessary dental care while they are fully asleep. It is typically recommended for children with significant dental anxiety, very young children, children with special needs, or those needing multiple procedures at once. We partner with Children’s Hospital Colorado for this service.

At what age should children get dental sealants?

Dental sealants are most commonly applied to the permanent molars as soon as they come in, typically between ages 6 and 12. The sealant creates a protective barrier over the grooves of the back teeth where cavities are most likely to develop.

How do I know if my child needs a frenectomy?

Signs that your child may benefit from a frenectomy include difficulty nursing as a newborn, challenges with speech development, gaps between the front teeth, or limited tongue movement. Dr. Danso can evaluate your child and let you know if a frenectomy is appropriate.
