Smile On Life
The Smile On Life Fund will serve as the charitable arm of Be Your Life Company, doing business as Smile On Life, and was founded by Mark Moreau. The mission of this company is to create profits for charity by serving to foster transformative reminders in the world: that life is sacred, unique, connected, and a blessing; that each person is a unique gift; and that we are called to express our uniqueness with love and gratefulness.
As a practicing dentist for over 25 years, Dr. Moreau strives to offer excellent dental care to his patients and has enhanced countless smiles through his cosmetic, restorative, and orthodontic expertise. In keeping with his commitment to caring for others, Dr. Moreau pondered the questions, "What do I really wish for my patients?"; "Would it be any different than what I would wish for my children?" Real happiness was the answer to both questions, but a happiness that goes beyond the accumulation of things and experiences to a kind of happiness that Mary Oliver points to when she writes, "Have I experienced happiness with sufficient gratitude?" The intention behind the Smile On Life Fund is to celebrate the blessing of life, to contribute to the overall well-being of others, and to remember those people whose passionate embrace of life inspires us to courageously say "YES" to life.
A simple, purposeful ‘smile on’ oneself, others, or on life reflects the virtues of goodness, kindness, compassion, respect, tolerance, gratitude, understanding, hope, and love.
A smile filled with love and gratitude has the power to light the world, ours and others. So in pausing and asking ourselves, "on what or on whom do I choose to 'Smile On' in this moment," we just might be ‘answering with’ the ray of light that the world is looking for.
Dr. Albert Schweitzer once said, "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame with us."

Every Day is Special
I would like to officially announce our new office name, Saratoga Smile Care, and share with you a few thoughts. As an entire office, we care that your smile reflects who you really are and that your smile reflects the specialness of every day of your life.
We care for your health and happiness by constantly striving to deliver exceptional dental care and sharing with you knowledge of your oral health and overall health. Periodically, life reminds us of what is important and that every day is special. We care about your freedom to smile spontaneously; to chew comfortably; to breathe deeply; to eat healthily; to sleep soundly; to walk confidently; to laugh wholeheartedly; and to rest peacefully. We care that you smile on life often and that your sense of happiness is shared with the world. Our office is all about caring because throughout my career in dentistry, I have learned that what I do, what I have to offer, and what I am constantly learning is how to care for others more and more. So we invite you to join with us in life’s journey of caring. Smile On!
