Biography
Dr. Daniel Lee is a D78 graduate of Tufts and a proud member of the Dental School's faculty for more than 36 years where he continues to learn from dentists and dental professionals from all over the world. Prior to this, he was a Chemist and Biophysicist, earning his undergraduate degree at Oklahoma Baptist University and a graduate degree from Boston University. Whenever Dr. Lee is not teaching, he is an active member of the Chinatown and Lexington community where he provides care through his private practices in each respective location. His passion for dentistry has led him to participate in charitable outreach programs in Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe, where he designed portable equipment tailored for operative dentistry in the field. Dr. Lee spends his free time during the Summer at the Cape fishing. His favorite catches are Black Fish or Tautog, which coincidentally have dentition looks similar to our human incisors.
