David Strange, DDS, MS
 Dr.
David Strange has lived in Colorado since
1977. He attended grade school and high
school on the “west” side of town and
graduated from the University of Colorado at
Boulder. The foothills of Golden and the
flatirons of Boulder are truly home to him.
When he isn’t in the offices playing with
the children, a privilege he tries to
convince the rest of us is actually work,
you can find him on the slopes of Copper
Mountain or at a crowded Folsom stadium
watching his beloved Colorado Buffaloes.
Dr. Strange and his wife, Erin, live in
Golden with their three children, Clara,
Marshall and Sullivan. Clara loves to dance
and ski; Marshall loves cars and hockey; and
Sullivan loves to do everything his big
brother and big sister do. The family is
active in the children’s schools,
extracurricular activities and church. They
also love to travel as much as having three
small children will allow.
Dr. Strange graduated from the University of
Colorado at Boulder in 1994 with a BS degree
in biology and the University of Colorado
School of Dentistry in 1998 with the DDS
degree. He then completed the Pediatric
Dental Residency Program at Baylor College
of Dentistry in Dallas, Texas where he
earned the degree of Master of Science in
2000. His master’s thesis was on the subject
of “Primary Tooth Pulp Therapy.”
Dr. Strange has very fond memories of going
to work with his father, who was a strong
influence in his life. Following in his
father’s footsteps to become a pediatric
dentist was a natural decision for him. It
was a decision on which he has never looked
back. Dr. Strange joined the Pediatric
Dental Group of Colorado in 2000 after
completing his pediatric dental specialty
training. He practices in the Lafayette and
Wheat Ridge offices but is known to schedule
himself in the Frisco office on Friday to
conveniently turn that trip into a ski
weekend.
