Just keep reading below.
Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Camenzuli first became interested in dentistry as a teenager while he was going through the process of wearing braces. They were placed at the LSU School of Dentistry, which meant that he attended progress appointments there monthly. These visits always intrigued him about what dental school was really like, and he started to look forward to them. He finally realized that he wanted to become a dentist when he noticed how many people made sure to hide their teeth when they smiled with their lips or their hands. “I want to help those people smile,” he commented to himself one day – and the rest is history.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
After earning his bachelor’s from the University of New Orleans, Dr. Camenzuli received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Louisiana State University School of Dentistry. Today, he is a Senior Master Provider for Fastbraces®, a Fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and a member of the Louisiana Dental Association.
He is also a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. This is a distinction achieved by only 6% of dentists in the U.S. and Canada, and it demonstrates Dr. Camenzuli’s dedication to keeping up with the latest techniques and technology in dentistry. To earn Fellowship status, he had to complete over 500 hours of continuing education, 350 of which consisted of live courses, and he also had to pass an exam equal in difficulty to the board certification exam. And, he attends trainings in a classroom setting multiple times a year in order to keep his skills sharp, which is not something every dentist does! Altogether, he has completed over 1,000 hours of continuing education throughout his career, and he is also a member of two study clubs – a local organization and a SPEAR Education club. He has even been named as a “Top Dentist” in New Orleans for several years in New Orleans Magazine!
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Camenzuli and his wife Dana are approaching 25 years of marriage and look forward to every visit from their twin daughters Veronica and Juliette, who attend school at LSU recognized as presidential scholars. They also have 2 dogs, a Poodle named Hugo, and a Schnoodle named Sammy, as well as a black Persian cat named Freddy. Dana is a self-taught gourmet cook, and he eats better at home than he could at restaurants! His daughters are straight A students who are active in Tae Kwon Do, and both hold a Blackbelt. Outside of the dental office, his personal hobbies include playing the piano, running, and practicing yoga. He is an avid traveler as well and has visited many countries and cities within the United States.
