Hi Steffen and welcome!

Gerben Wierda some times ago suggested me to use texconfig.
Open the terminal and type

sudo texconfig

insert your password and a menu will appear.
Choose
hyphen

and then choose the format in which  you wish to use the danish 
hyphenation.
The editor called vi automatically opens the right file language.dat.
Uncomment the line of danish language,
save the file and quit vi and the terminal.

Automatically the formats will be recreated with the danish hyphenation 
added.
If the next time you will use texshop you will see something
like that

"Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, 
ngerman, d
utch, italian, nohyphenation, loaded."

(with, obviously, the word danish instead of italian)
everything should run fine.

Bye,
	Alessandro
