Dr. Idlibi primary focus is on preserving the integrity of childrens psyche through employing behavior management techniques, conscious sedation, and general anesthesia. Treating childrens teeth is important but protecting their delicate psyches is far more important.
Dr. Idlibs approach is what he calls Total Patient Care. This approach addressed the overall wellbeing of a child rather than the childs teeth only. Based on this approach, Dr. Idlibi had referred many of his pediatric patients to other subspecialized experts such as phycologists, endodontists, periodontists, oral surgeons, TMJ specialists and others.

Our mission is to provide high quality dental care in a nourishing atmosphere while protecting the childs delicate psyche and contributing to building a positive self-image with emphasis on general health and well-being.
Treating dental disease is very important, but what is far more important is how this dental treatment is delivered to a precious child. A childs psyche is very delicate, far more delicate than the hard enamel of a tooth. Childrens psyches are in a constant dynamic interaction with every days life events and are the single determining and shaping factor of the childs personality as an adult.
Needless to say, an adult personality is what mainly affects a persons lifestyle, social interaction, career, productivity and the role in affecting society in general. How do we apply all this to the delivery of our kids dental care? By offering our child patients with a non-threatening, compassionate atmosphere which minimizes a childs fear (if he or she has it).
