 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding Dentist and an Amazing Team!
I cannot recommend this dental office highly enough! As someone who experiences severe dental anxiety, going to the dentist has always been extremely stressful for me. From the moment I walked through the door, the entire staff made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
The dentist and the entire team demonstrated exceptional skill, patience, compassion, and understanding. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything thoroughly, and make sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Their gentle approach, professionalism, and ability to understand and accommodate dental anxiety made a tremendous difference in my experience.
It is not easy to find a dental office that combines outstanding clinical skills with such genuine compassion for their patients. This team truly goes above and beyond to make you feel safe, respected, and at ease.
If you struggle with dental anxiety or fear of going to the dentist, I highly recommend this office! You will be treated with kindness, patience, and understanding rather than judgment. The entire team deserves recognition for the exceptional care they provide. They have made what is normally a very difficult experience so much more manageable, and I am incredibly grateful for the way they treated me.
Thank you to Dr. Rudnick and every member of the staff for making such a positive difference. You have earned my trust, my appreciation, and my highest recommendation!

Care from Greenacres

Start with an evaluation of jaw symptoms and function

Jaw pain, clicking, limited opening or discomfort when chewing may have several causes. Rudnick Dentistry evaluates symptoms and bite concerns at the Palm Beach Gardens office before discussing a treatment plan. Keep notes about when symptoms occur and what makes them better or worse.

What a TMJ consultation can clarify

Jaw symptoms and when they occur

Describe pain location, jaw locking, headaches, clenching and the movements that trigger symptoms.Source: NIH / NIDCR ↗

Dental factors considered during a TMJ evaluation

Tell the dentist about recent dental work, a changed bite, tooth pain or an appliance you already use.

Next steps after your TMJ evaluation

Ask what the examination suggests, what options are available and how improvement would be monitored.

Greenacres visit planning

Plan care from Melaleuca Lane, Lake Worth Road and Jog Road

From Greenacres

Greenacres residents coming from the Melaleuca Lane or Lake Worth Road area will travel north to Rudnick Dentistry. Check the office location and expected appointment length when choosing a time.

Plan the number of visits

If work, school or a Greenacres recreation program limits travel time, explain that when you call. The team can describe available appointment windows and whether a proposed treatment needs later visits.

Around the community

The City of Greenacres posts community news, programs and road information. Its city news panel below is separate from dental care; appointment questions belong with the practice team.

For community notices, see the City of Greenacres. For dental scheduling, call the practice directly.

Treatment follows the diagnosis

Jaw symptoms are not identical from person to person. Depending on findings, the dentist may discuss monitoring, an appliance or other care. Ask what each option aims to change and when a follow-up visit would be useful.

Planning TMJ treatment from Greenacres

If jaw pain affects meals or sleep at home in Greenacres, record when it appears and whether you notice clicking or limited opening. Bring that history to the office and ask how any recommended treatment would be monitored.

Josh’s TMJ Story: Getting Back to the Activities He Enjoyed

Josh describes his TMJ care experience in his own words.

Josh’s jaw and ear pain was affecting more than his comfort. Basketball, swimming, hiking, and even lifting groceries had become difficult. After finding Dr. Rudnick through Google, he came to Rudnick Dentistry for help.

In his video, recorded about two months after starting care, Josh reported that his pain was nearly gone. He had taken a 10-mile bike ride that morning and played basketball the day before. He was also looking forward to returning to the gym.

For Josh, the most meaningful change was getting back to activities he enjoyed. Watch his video to hear him describe the experience in his own words.

Important treatment considerations

Jaw sounds do not always need treatment

Clicking without pain is common and does not by itself require treatment. Jaw or facial pain can have causes other than TMD, so diagnosis comes before a treatment plan.

Source: NIH / NIDCR ↗

Discuss conservative options first

NIDCR recommends conservative approaches and cautions against treatments that permanently change teeth, the bite or jaw joints as routine TMD care. Evidence that oral appliances relieve TMD pain is limited; discuss the intended benefit, risks and follow-up.
