From your first visit onwards, our approach includes dental dietary and oral hygiene advice, long term treatment planning-including orthodontic and other specialist referrals as well as care and management of dental disease. We are also specifically trained to care for the oral health of children with complex treatment needs. We offer in-clinic dental treatment, occasionally with sedation, and specialist dental treatment under general anaesthetic in a hospital setting, if your child requires this type of care.
Services
We have three female specialist Paediatric Dentists. We share a similar preventive philosophy and enjoy working in a group practice in order to provide our families with our combined expertise and flexible appointments. We regularly discuss challenging clinical scenarios in our professional peer-review meetings in order to find the best oral health outcomes for the children we take care of.
We offer in-clinic dental treatment, occasionally with sedation, and specialist dental treatment under general anaesthetic in a hospital setting, if your child requires this type of care. Prevention is better than cure no matter what field of healthcare. Our staff are all very passionate about having healthy teeth for life.
Paediatric Dentists are happy to see children from birth for a variety of neonatal oral conditions, checking oral and facial growth and development, eruption of teeth, early guidance on when and how to brush for young children and nutritional advice for toddlers and young children to minimise the risk of developing decay in the future.
As a specialist practice the aim of our first visit is to meet you and your child and complete a thorough clinical dental examination, including an assessment of risk factors such as diet and oral hygiene practices. We also advise whether further information such as x-rays are required and discuss our findings and the management options in detail with you.
However, your general dentist may have referred you to come and see us regarding a specific concern. The more information we have the better. It is difficult to give a cost prior to seeing your child. An individual treatment plan will be made for your child at the first appointment and costs quoted for you.

I have three adult children who have now moved on to an adult dentist. Due to the care of Camberwell Children's Dentistry over many years my children have no fillings and excellent dental hygiene practices which has set them up for good teeth for their lifetimes. The dental staff and administrative staff were always professional and friendly and I will always be grateful for their excellent care.

Dr Debra Elsby is absolutely incredible! My 3 sons see her every 6 months. She asks them about their 'brushing and flossing', she explains to them what she is going to look at, then what she will do. Together with Simone on the front desk, the whole experience is professional, caring and very thorough. Thank you Dr Debra!

Overcharged for a 10 min “thorough” observation which comprised of the doctor observing all teeth and requesting we come back for a clean. $100 dollars for that seems overpriced, particularly as the oral cleaning recommended could not take place for the next four months as they are overbooked. Is better not to take new patients if you can’t do an oral clean in four months.
