Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy. 

Pertaining to his philanthropic endeavours, Dr. Zeitouni has volunteered in many community dental outreach projects, including the North Carolina Missions of Mercy program, providing dental care to people in need around the state. He is also a proud member of the Rotary Club of West Stanly.

A proud resident of the Locust, North Carolina community, he enjoys playing sports, traveling, reading, and spending quality time with family and friends when he is not practicing dentistry.
