  Daniel Streifel

  D.D.S. General Dentist

  About Me
  When growing up, Dr. Streifel had always enjoyed seeing his dentist. He says “the idea of meeting new people and helping patients to achieve their dream of a great smile in a comfortable environment seemed like a great profession then–and is what makes working at Gentle Dental so rewarding for me today.” Dentistry is a field that combines science and art, and it’s the last part that is especially appealing to multi-talented Dr. Streifel: he is also a celebrated glass artist who has taught art classes across the country to aspiring creatives. This skill compliments his mission to create great smiles.

  After graduating Moorhead State University, Dr. Streifel earned his D.D.S. from the University of Minnesota school of Dentistry. He is an active member of the American Dental Association.

  In his free time, Dr. Streifel relaxes by cooking for freinds, working in his garden, and of course– working on his art.
