Dr. Green’s commitment to Fort Lauderdale extends well beyond the dental chair, with a growing list of sponsorships and partnerships that reflect the values at the heart of DG Dental. Most recently, the practice served as an event sponsor for the Swim Fort Lauderdale Masters Team and will be a featured sponsor for the Florida Children’s Theatre’s Grande Crystal Ball fundraiser — event materials and links will be added here as they become available. A new collaboration with Broward College is also underway, with DG Dental serving as a featured sponsor at campus events and student programming throughout the year.
Dr. Green has deep roots with The Girl Choir of South Florida, where in 2023 she developed the Legacy Wall and Sponsor Our Space initiatives. The installation — a stylized waveform of Dr. Green’s voice saying “The Girlchoir of South Florida” — is now a permanent fixture at the organization. Her arts involvement also includes volunteer work with The Lesbian Thespians, a local nonprofit theater company whose production of Load Bearing Walls featured DG Dental in the event program. These partnerships reflect a genuine investment in the cultural and community life of Fort Lauderdale, and they’re a natural extension of the care and connection that define every visit to our practice.
Dr. Green is a published researcher and recognized voice in evidence-based dentistry, with features and mentions that reflect her standing both inside and outside the clinical world. The National Dental Practice-Based Research Network published a dedicated feature on her contributions to practice-based research, and a second profile spotlighting her work and background is available through the National Dental PBRN. Dr. Green co-authored a study titled “Patient, Pain-related, and Psychosocial Characteristics,” which was presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Dental Research in 2018 — this research has since served as the foundation for a manuscript recently accepted for publication by the Journal of the American Dental Association. A link to the published article will be added here once it becomes available.
As president of the Board of Trustees for The Girl Choir of South Florida, Dr. Green is a recognized leader well beyond the dental world — a commitment the organization has celebrated publicly, including a shout-out post in honor of National Dentist’s Day. An upcoming featured article in Stroll Victoria Park will add to her local media presence, and a link will be shared here upon publication.
Dr. Green’s involvement with The Lesbian Thespians, a Fort Lauderdale-based community theater nonprofit, also brought her in front of the camera. As a behind-the-scenes volunteer on their 2024 production of The Boxes We Keep, she was interviewed for South Florida PBS’s Art Loft program (Season 13, Episode 10, “Performance, Education & Community,” originally aired March 11, 2025 — she appears at approximately the 25:45 mark). Her full research record is documented on her ORCID profile.
