After the war, David took a three-month course at the University of Florence before returning to the United States and re-entering Dillard University. He obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Meharry School of Dentistry in 1952.

In 1953, after completing internships at Eastman Dental Dispensary and Strong Memorial Hospital, Dr. Brown moved to Utica (into the home of Edward Bass, a 2009 Historical Hall of Fame inductee). He became Utica’s first Black dentist and opened his practice at 402 Court St, later moving it to 1402 Genesee St. He was referred to as the “painless dentist” by his patients and of the Board of Head Start. He was a member of the Frontiersman International, the Advisory Board of SUNY College of Technology, and was active with the Utica Kiwanis Club, the Utica YMCA, American Dental Association, New York State Dental Association, and the Oneida Herkimer County Dental Society.

In 1977, Dr. Brown was honored with the Alumni Award at Meharry Medical College for 25 years of service in healthcare, and he was named 1982 Man of the Year by the Utica Citizen’s Lobby. When Dr. Brown passed away, Mayor Louis LaPolla was quoted, “there has never been a person with more of a sense of love for a community than Dr. Brown.” •
