Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
In his younger years, Dr. Assemu actually had multiple episodes of severe dental pain that required treatment. While he has known for most of his life that he wanted to one day work in the medical field, those personal experiences caused him to gravitate towards the dental world in particular – and many years later, he still feels confident that he made the right decision. This career is rewarding and fulfilling while also giving him plenty of quality time with his family.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Assemu completed his undergraduate degree at Tennessee State University and then pursued his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. He pursues continuing education as much as possible so that he can stay up to date with the latest techniques and technologies in oral healthcare.
