COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives dramatically.

This unprecedented biothreat, which affects us all regardless of skin color, ethnicity and wealth has killed millions, creating massive unemployed rates while forcing people to be distant and isolated under new and unique challenges. Understandably, being isolated brings frustration, fear, and anxiety which is reflected in the scary increase in domestic violence, psychological depressive disorders and suicide rates.

More than ever, positive messages and attitudes that can put a smile on someone’s face are highly valued and welcome. As dentists and musicians, Dr. Francisco Barbosa and Dr. Christian Jarry want to not only restore teeth but to promote smiles in every possible way they can, and music is the universal language that positively connects people, no matter how distant they are!

That’s how the project “RockSolid” came to life!

Dental Professionals from different countries who also share a passion for music and play a musical instrument are invited to join Francisco and Christian in playing and recording a cover song together (but remotely). The invited doctors also appoint a local institution that provides psychological support or food on the table to the people in need during isolation and social distancing.

The video clips are shared on social media with a givebutter.com and gift shop link and all the proceeds will be destined for the respective institutions appointed by the invitees. We trust 100% the Dental Community is willing and ready to engage!

The second song is “Yellow” by Coldplay. Thanks to the support of Prof. Ronaldo Hirata (NY-USA), Dr. Daniel Kenji (São Paulo/Brazil), Soumen Das (Straumann/Switzerland) who dedicated their time and poured their hearts to make this second song happen.

The proceeds of this video will be equally sent to the following institutions appointed by our dear volunteers.

In the USA: Lifeline - National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Lifeline (suicidepreventionlifeline.org)

In Brazil: Centro de Valorização da Vida - CVV: CVV | Centro de Valorização da Vida

In Switzerland: Stiftung Schweizer Tafel - Distributing food - Alleviating poverty
