Dr. Green’s father, Henry Green, practiced dentistry in Miami from 1946 to 1979.

Dr Green conceived and co-authored ‘The Value of Medical Diagnostic Tests in a Dental Practice,’ published in “The Journal of the American Dental Association” in 1970. During his service in the Navy, his interest in treating chronic pain and improving human performance with nutrition began.

Dr. Green returned to Miami in 1972. He practiced in his father’s office; and later in Kendall, he opened his own practice, which he sold in 1997. After practicing on Brickell Avenue in downtown Miami, he moved to his current clinic on Sunset Drive.

Dr. Green is a practitioner of “orthomolecular dentistry.” “Orthomolecular” is a word, coined by Linus Pauling in 1968, which means “correct” or “right” molecule. Orthomolecular medicine is practiced by caregivers who believe in preventing and treating disease using optimal amounts of substances that are natural to the body--food and supplements.

To Dr. Green, the mouth is a window into a person’s immunity, one’s health, one’s individuality. His “first love” is family clinical care and treating his patients’ dental needs successfully. And, his patients have had success in healing and in maintaining their general health.
