A Dentist for Lake Park’s Historic, Hardworking Neighborhoods
Lake Park started life in 1923 as Kelsey City, named for Boston businessman Harry Kelsey and planned with help from the Olmsted Brothers firm. The town describes itself as the first zoned municipality in Florida, and you can still see that early plan in the grid of homes, shops, and workplaces. The name changed to Lake Park in 1939.

Dental Advice for Lake Park Residents
Busy schedules and regular coffee stops can make small changes to oral health easy to miss.
Limit long sipping
Finish sweetened coffee or tea with a meal when possible, then drink water. Repeated sips over hours give mouth bacteria more opportunities to produce acids.
Clean where a brush misses
Brush morning and night with fluoride toothpaste and clean between teeth daily. If floss catches on an edge, mention it at your next visit rather than pulling hard.
Do not ignore bleeding
Gums that bleed repeatedly during brushing or flossing should be assessed. An exam can show whether plaque buildup, inflammation, or another issue needs attention.

Everyday Dental Care for Lake Park Patients
Most visits from Lake Park households fall into a few categories. Here is what each one involves.
Tooth-colored fillings. When a cavity needs attention, a tooth-colored filling is shaped to match your tooth. We show you the X-ray first, so you can see exactly why we recommend it.
Toothaches and broken teeth. We set aside time for urgent problems and offer same-day visits when the schedule allows. Call early in the day so we can look for an opening.
Root canal therapy in the office. If decay or a crack reaches the nerve, Dr. Rudnick can often treat the tooth here, using a dental laser during certain steps of cleaning and shaping the canals.

Questions From Lake Park Patients
How far is your office from Lake Park? Measured in a straight line, it’s about 2.3 miles. By car, the trip is roughly 2 to 4 miles and typically takes about 8 to 15 minutes, depending on traffic and time of day. Most routes end the same way: west on Northlake Boulevard, across I-95, to our office on the south side just before Military Trail.
Can I get in the same day for a toothache? Often, yes. We reserve time for urgent problems and offer same-day visits when the schedule allows. Call 561-625-1991 as early in the day as possible. If you have facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 instead of waiting for a dental visit.
I don’t have dental insurance. What are my options? We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards, and we offer financing through CareCredit and LendingClub. We also have an In-Office Dental Plan that covers routine preventive care for a yearly fee. Ask our team to walk you through the details so you can compare options before booking.
How long does Invisalign take? It depends on how far your teeth need to move. Some cases finish in months, while others take longer. At your consultation, a digital scan and exam help Dr. Rudnick estimate your timeline and number of aligners, and you’ll see the plan before you decide whether to start.
