Brazilian Dentist Travels To Fix The Teeth Of Less-Fortunate People For Free And Here Are 30 New Transformations
Everyone is able to give back to the world, no matter their age, profession, or location. Even the smallest contribution can make a change and inspire good deeds―be it a rescued animal or a fixed smile―these heartwarming stories are bringing our faith in humanity back. A Brazilian dentist named Felipe Rossi has been traveling the world and helping poor people in need by doing what he does best―giving a reason to smile and restoring lost confidence. For many people, dental health is a pure luxury and they simply can't afford it. They have been given a chance to get the assistance they need for free thanks to Doctor Rossi and his NGO Por1sorriso, which he founded back in 2016.
We've previously shared some of the people's amazing transformations achieved with Rossi's help and he is continuing to change people's lives for the better. Just look at the infectious smiles these people will never have to hide again!

Fabulous. Just shows that in first pic, your eyse notice the mouth first. Second pic you notice the eyes first.
After seeing all the pictures, I can only think about how much better these people's nutrition is going to be, now that they can chew their food.
For many of us, many of the more fortunate, careful oral hygiene is a part of our daily routine and it's difficult to imagine that some people live their lives without even owning a toothbrush. Despite significant achievements in oral health, poverty-stricken, under-privileged groups in both developed and developing countries still have limited access to health services. Remember this next time you decide to skip brushing your teeth before bed or you chicken out from your regular appointment at the dentist.
Why did fixing his teeth make his eyes look straighter? No bs, that's an amazing illusion.
Unfortunately, that's the truth. Be kind and Remember to never judge a book by its cover!

I bet it was really hard for her to eat food. What a great service they did for her.
I'm sure her breath is a little sweeter now too, I hope she keeps them clean.
Cute in both photos, but downright handsome and very much employable in a great new job in the second. Excellent.
Aesthetic dentist Felipe Rossi has been literally bringing healthy and bright smiles to people's faces. Rossi has been traveling with volunteers across low-income communities, mostly in Brazil and East Africa, and has provided vital dental care for hundreds of people free of charge.
NGOs like Por1sorriso face many struggles while following their mission as they have to rely on sponsorship and fundraising to keep going. But Rossi is receiving a lot of support as he has been sharing his journey along with before-and-after pictures of his patients on his Instagram. With over 200k followers on his personal Instagram account and another 114k following Por1sorriso's page, Felipe Rossi is one of the most famous doctors for all the right reasons.
She's beautiful! She looks so happy she's ready to cry! Good for her! I'm happy for her too!
The difference between having a good set of teeth and no teeth or bad teeth is so profound, most people just would never understand.
To us, it does seem minimal, but it seems to make a world of difference to her, which is awesome.

With caries or tooth decay being the most common disease, it is estimated that 2.3 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth and more than 530 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth. Dental treatments are among the most costly services, averaging 20% of out-of-pocket health expenditure in most high-income countries. There is an evident correlation between oral diseases and socioeconomic status, so the burden falls on those disadvantaged the most.
Great before and after. He's fake-smiling in the first one. He's actually happy in the second one. I know because I've experienced it. I'm going to get a crown tomorrow for my missing front tooth
No, his head is tilted up slightly in the second photo
Load More Replies...Beautiful smile! Sorry for the typos.., I don't know why it keeps happening today.
Load More Replies...Love what this dentist does ! It is wonderful that these people can express themselves with their smiles !
Oral issues and diseases have a major impact on quality of life―many struggle with consuming food and have to deal with constant pain and suffering. We can all agree that dental pain is some of the worst that exists! Teeth left untreated result in further problems and discomfort, as well as eventual and often premature tooth loss. A smile is often what people notice first in a person, so the change in appearance might cause severe psychological struggles such as low self-esteem.
It's so different from the other because they are dentures. They didn't fix the natural teeth.
Load More Replies...These heartwarming transformations show how the doctor's work not only changes their smiles, but their lives as well. A nice smile can make a huge difference in appearance, but also affect a person's confidence―most of these people look much younger and their happiness just shines through!
From sad story to handsome catch - hope this young man has a wonderful future!
HOW DO I GET IN TOUCH WITH THIS DENTIST?? MONA @ monanordhoff@gmail.com
If an employer were to select the new employee, The guy in the white T-shirt would get the job hands down
Lovely lady in both pix, hope the dental work relieved any pain she was experiencing.
Just noticed, now she is confident enough to wear some lipstick. Rock on, lovely lady!
she looks 10 years younger...but more importantly, all of these people look so happy and confident! Cudos to the dentist; sir, you are amazing...you really have, i am SURE, changed all of their lives!
I like how this man is able to smile again after having his teeth fixed... I know a few people who do not smile because they do not like their teeth and feel self conscious because of it.
From sad old dude to handsome gentleman who'll be catnip to all the ladies over 50!
But happier and more handsome in the second one. . .
Load More Replies...His pose is so similar, it looks photoshopped. I know it's not, but I had to study to see a difference other than his teeth.
Another lady who is now happy enough about her smile to try some lipstick. Looking good!
We need affordable dental care in the USA too. I saved up for years, flew to Thailand and stayed 2 weeks to get dental work done for a sixth of the price the US wanted. That included airfare, hotel, and all travel fees too.
I wish they had this in the United States. I am in dire need. I'll end up dead from infection before I can afford to pay just to have the worst of my teeth removed, nevermind about having new teeth put in.
The world should have free Healthcare and this should include Dental Care.
In Norway we joke that teeth aren't part of your body. ( Dental care is not covered the same way that dr bills and medicine is once you'cre an adult). Strange that something one needs in order to eat is considered cosmetic all over the world
Wonderful thing to do. Every one of these have had their life changed!
I was going to say 7 was my favorite then I got to 11. All are beautiful. I’m glad all are happy. ❤️
Maybe she has a hormone imbalance! Why state the obvious? She still looks super happy!
Load More Replies...The difference on an individual with healthy teeth is enormous. I myself cannot afford the dentist in the U.S. because the system is so broken. Dental insurance provides nothing at a large cost. It is ridiculous for something so so important, to be so unattainable.
U.K. same. Doctors and hospital free, but dentists very expensive. Also there aren't enough of them.
Load More Replies...Doctor Rossi is doing some truly amazing work. The differences that a set of healthy teeth makes in these individuals is striking not only cosmetically but also to their self-esteem and quality of life.
The dentist has changed these people's lives. It's so nice that people want to give back when they're blessed with a talent. I've never understood why dental treatment is so expensive in most countries though; Especially cosmetic dental treatment? I'm lucky to live in the UK because of the NHS!
It's good to see people smile more confidently after they got their new shiny pearlies. I know a couple of people who will never smile showing their teeth, even laughing. Some would cover their mouth when they talk. In our country, a lot would do dental missions on poor areas or far flung places where they can't get proper dental services. Also, it is relatively affordable to have dental procedures here from licensed dentists and clinics. It's a good thing, too.
These are the people we should be thanking for their service far more so than military personnel.
Everyone one of these people were inherently beautiful already. However, the self-confidence they demonstrate after seeing their new smiles truly makes my heart sing for each one of them.
