Welcome to the G.V. Black District Dental Society!

The G. V. Black District Dental Society is a component (local dental society) of the Illinois State Dental Society and American Dental Association and has been serving the profession of dentistry since 1929.

The Society was named in honor of Dr. Greene Vardiman Black, who was born in 1836 in central Illinois and is known as "one of the founders of modern dentistry". Today, the Society has 155 members who are located in Sangamon, Logan, Menard, Cass, Morgan, Scott and Montgomery counties and a portion of Macoupin County within Illinois. Members includes general practitioners as well as dental specialists.

Your Skills Needed: Volunteer for RAM Dental Clinic, June 13-14

Mar 24, 2026
Every year, families across central Illinois go without the dental care they need. RAM saw it firsthand at their last clinic—and they know the demand will be even higher this summer.

That’s why they are asking for your help. Our next dental clinic is scheduled for June 13–14, 2026, at Paris High School. Without a stronger turnout from licensed Illinois dentists, we simply won’t be able to meet the need.

You hold the key. With your Illinois license, you can join us—no approval delays, no red tape. Just one weekend of your time can mean a world of difference: more restored smiles, fewer untreated infections, and better health for families who otherwise have nowhere else to turn.

“Giving back to the communities we serve is at the heart of Longview Capital Corporation,” says David Albin, our President and Chairman. “Access to basic healthcare should never depend on a person’s circumstances.”

Click here to view the volunteer brochure and an event brochure for this event. They spell out everything you need to know—roles, schedules, and what to expect on site. Please take a look and consider signing up. If you can, invite your colleagues and share this opportunity in your own networks. The more dentists we have, the greater the impact we can make together.

To see what your service means in action, take a look at the impact from our last clinic: Read about it here.

Thank you for stepping up when Illinois communities need you most.
