Dr. Barry Rouch and his patient, Augustin.
Barry Rouch, DDS, MS, of Arboretum and Westlake Orthodontics, is a long-time Season for Caring volunteer. In 2013, he volunteered to provide free orthodontic care to a young man named Augustin who had major dental needs. Augustin lives in a trailer park with his family in an impoverished rural area. His mother, who was being treated for a serious illness, received dental care from another active CADF provider, Stanley LaCroix, DDS.
“Augustin is a really good kid,” said Dr. Rouch. “The look on his face when the braces came off was really worthwhile. This program gave him an opportunity he may not have had otherwise. He wants to go to college and I hope he makes it. You never know how much changing that young man’s smile can change his life with a new found confidence.”
Today, because of your support, Augustin and his mother both have healthy smiles!
