Pediatric Dentistry You and Your Child Will Love

Welcome to Little Lion Dental Clinic!

Little Lion Dental Clinic is a general dental practice with a focus on pediatric dentistry, orthodontics and sedation services in Ottawa. Dr. Maryam Karami and her pediatric dental care team look forward to meeting you and your children and introducing you to a new vision in children’s dental care based on creating a rapport between your child and our team to encourage dental health for a lifetime. You may even hear a few giggles along the way!

Tongue-Tie and Lip tie Laser Surgery for Infants and Kids

Our office offers procedures like tongue-tie and lip-tie release to support infants’ health and development.

Sedation Options

For a stress-free experience, we provide sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and general anesthesia, to ensure your child’s comfort.

General Anesthesia

For complex cases or anxious children, general anesthesia keeps your child fully asleep, safely managed by experienced anesthesiologists, and allows multiple treatments in one visit to reduce stress.

Comprehensive Dental Care

We offer a wide range of dental treatments, from routine cleanings to more advanced procedures.

Jungle-Themed Environment

Our office is designed with a fun, vibrant jungle theme to create an exciting atmosphere for kids.

Gaming Units

We have gaming stations to keep children entertained and engaged while they wait.

Cartoons During Treatment

Kids can watch their favorite cartoons during their dental procedures to help them feel relaxed and comfortable.

Friendly, Caring Staff

Our team is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment, making sure every child feels safe, happy, and well-cared for during their visit.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to introducing dentistry to your child in a fun and pleasant environment. We strive to provide the best dental care in enjoyable surroundings. By creating a positive experience and focusing on preventive dentistry, we keep your child’s teeth healthy and minimize the need for invasive procedures. Along the way, we educate children about how they can contribute to their own dental health and beautiful smiles.

Complete Pediatric Dental Care

Early childhood dental care is crucial to protecting your child’s health now and ensuring that their permanent teeth continue to serve them well in the future. Preventive care, including routine dental checkups and cleanings, is essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. However, even with the best care, children may develop cavities and other problems. Dr. Maryam Karami is experienced in every aspect of dental care for children, including:

All Levels of Sedation Dentistry Available

At Little Lion Dental Clinic, we understand that dental visits can sometimes be overwhelming for children. To ensure that every child has a comfortable and stress-free experience, we offer a range of sedation services tailored to meet the individual needs of our young patients.

  • Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)
  • Oral Sedation
  • General Anesthesia

For complex procedures or for children with special needs or severe anxiety, we offer general anesthesia, administered by a team of highly trained anesthesiologists and specialized professionals. This approach allows us to ensure that your child receives the highest standard of care in a controlled and safe environment, minimizing any stress or discomfort.

Tongue Tie and Lip tie Laser Surgery for Infants and Older Children

Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) and lip tie are conditions that can affect a child’s ability to feed, speak, and maintain proper oral health. Dr. Karami gently performs a laser frenectomy to address these issues in both infants and older children, ensuring that each child receives the appropriate care for their age and developmental needs.

Little Lion Dental Clinic is always welcoming new patients, including emergencies and walk-ins.

We accept Blue Cross and the Canadian Dental Care Plan.

We absolutely love this dental office! The doctor (Dr. Karami) is not only knowledgeable but also amazing with kids. They are so patient and take the time to explain everything, making my children feel comfortable and at ease. My kids actually look forward to their dental check-ups because the office is so fun and entertaining! From the friendly staff to the playful environment, it's clear they've thought of everything to make visiting the dentist a positive experience. Highly recommend for any family looking for a kid-friendly and professional dental practice!

I took my son (3 yrs) to Little Lion for his first dental appointment and was very impressed with our whole experience! Both the hygienists and Dr. Karami were gentle, kind, and had a great way of speaking to children. The reception area is really colourful and has lots of toys & books- my son felt instantly comfortable upon arrival. I would definitely recommend!

Dr. Karami has been amazing with my son since the day we were referred. She makes her young patients feel comfortable with the dental processes through and through. Today was my daughter's (who is extremely shy) first appointment and Dr. Karami made her feel comfortable enough to take a look at her teeth (which says alot! Believe me). The child friendly room helps kids settle in and feel comfortable at the dentist. 10/10 recommend for your little ones!
