Really beautiful and heartwarming post. The transformations are incredible and all the end smiles are really infectious. Thank you Doctor Rossi (and other healthcare humanitarians) who make a difference in these people’s lives. For anyone who thinks that fixing someone’s teeth is not doing anything to help these people, please think again. It can be a true boost to self-esteem, and learning about and practicing good oral hygiene can stave off some truly serious infections and horrible pain.

This is , tear inducing. Amazing, just absolutely beautiful. My teeth got weak from having twins, then having chemo right after... I still cannot afford to fix them. Seeing the happiness the beautiful outcome and how happy they are is just so awesome. When your teeth are ugly like mine you don't want to smile, or eat around anyone ever..

Dental care should not be a luxury. I live and work in NYC and make a decent salary. My office does not offer dental insurance. Even with the "discount" dental plans that you purchase, the cost for one root canal/crown is $1900! Who can afford that???

"Being in a life-or-death situation is not an excuse to stop brushing your teeth." WTF? At some point, some people who are in danger or in warfare have other, more pressing issues than brushing their teeth. Like, you know, finding something to eat, finding somewhere to sh*, and probably finding somewhere to give birth. What a stupid statement.

Look at the big different with and without teeth. Dental care is overpriced, and this dentist is def godsend. We need more people like him.

I love this! While cutting a tree branch ( 1 1/2 years ago), it snapped up to my mouth and broke my upper front teeth. Because our dental insurance was maxed, it took a while to repair the damage. That was only a few months of covering my smile. I'm so happy these people get a chance after years of it.

This was great! Very nice to see the joy on their faces.

This is such a wonderful thing the Dr. is doing and to see the difference, the confidence and the beautiful smiles after is awesome. I made sure my children teeth were always taken care of because as a child mine wasn't. When we went to the dentist it was pull them and that was all. So I made sure that my kids teeth were saved and i love watching them as adults flash their beautiful smiles. It may have meant that my smile was again put on the back burner, I was ok with that. Now it's going to cost an arm and leg to fix my smile which I can't do right now even with insurance and a dental insurance but one day I will be able to. So happy for these people

This made cry tears of joy. And the after pictures aren't the BS pics you see on Instagram where they are all made up, photo-shopped and fake looking. These are real, genuine people who have been given so much in a "small" way. God bless the volunteers who made this possible!

The people are wearing the same clothes, so are we talking about dentures? Can anyone explain how the teeth are fixed on the same day?

Happy, confident people!!! What an amazing doctor!

I think the dentist is wonderfully generous to have likely transformed most of his patients' lives as a result of the donation of his skilful work.

This is why dental should be automatic in all health plans. The improvement in mental health for each of these people will pay for itself over and over again. This is awesome.

He's better than Santa Claus! He gives the gifts of health and self-confidence!

Fantastic! Thank you for Sharing, these Amazing Insights! ~ Soft Foods that do not require chewing have entered their diets, and soft very little chew foods are dissolving their front teeth. ~ #WhiteBreadPower, #WhitePower!

God Bless this dentist! What a difference made in these people's lives. Their smiles are just amazing!! Happiness, self-confidence is radiating. Brought tears of joy to my eyes.

I feel many people are not aware of how important your dental health is. It affects not only your confidence and self-esteem, but your nutrition and cardiac health. Especially with diabetics, who are notorious for ignoring their teeth. A bad dental infection can kill you. I live in NC, and it makes me so sad to see obese adults and children, pushing shopping carts, stuffed with nothing but junk food and soda. Seeing babies drinking soda from baby bottles. That said- this man is an angel for what he does for these people- not just making them smile, but I'm sure changing their lives!

We spend so much time reading about violence and murder and disaster and sadness. It's great to be able to focus on people like this dentist who selflessly give so that others may live better. Yay for Bored Panda, for bringing us these stories.

Beautifully done..congrats doc!

What a simple, wonderful thing to do to help people. The joys shines through each after picture

one of the BEST articles EVER!!!!

so beautiful! <3

what an incredible dude

"What a difference these teeth make!"

Would he come to Vancouver? I'd appreciate a dentist fixing what dentists and prostheticians from my childhood ruined to the point where I can't afford to fix neither here, nor back home in 3rd-world country 😓

such a wonderful gift to give them!

You're a hero. You've saved 30 Brazilians. You're a real hero.

Is it dental access, price or poor teeth hygine/education that results in the bad teeth? Would be interesting to know where the system is broken.

since i have about 5 upper teeth, i happily live on pbjs

I think many folks don't realize how important dental health is. It affects not only your confidence and self esteem, but your nutrition, and your cardiac health. This is especially important for diabetics, who are notorious for ignoring their teeth. A dental infection can be bad enough to kill you if you don't get treatment. It's a shame that so many people where I live in NC have such poor dental health- poor diet, too much sugar and tobacco, and lack of education. I see it every day , and it makes me very sad to see shopping carts stuffed with junk food, soda being pushed by obese adults and children. Soda in baby bottles- no joke. That said, this dentist is an angel for the service his provides, it's evident in their happy faces!
