At Smile for a Lifetime Foundation it
is our mission to create self confidence,
inspire hope, and change the lives of
children in our community in a
dramatic way. The gift of a smile can
do all this for a deserving, underserved
individual who, in turn, can use this
gift to better themselves and our
community.
I have been blessed greatly in my life. One of the blessings I am grateful for is my chosen career. I have enjoyed dentistry and orthodontics. The changes you can make in a person by changing their smile can allow their personality to blossom. A person with crooked teeth, “bucked teeth”, large gaps, or other bite problems may be self conscious about smiling. This is turn may affect the way other people view them or the way they view themselves. Smile For a Lifetime allows me to give the gift of a smile to a deserving individual who may not be in a situation where they have the financial resources to afford this service. Smile For a Lifetime is my way of giving back to the community I serve.
