Many people grind their teeth when they’re stressed — but if you feel like you’re constantly stretched to your limits, teeth grinding can become a chronic issue.

Smith and Dr. Lori Albe can help prevent the significant effects of teeth grinding and bruxism in Ft. Lauderdale with custom-fitted nightguards.
