About Dr. Lawson-Myers

Dr Heather-Dawn Lawson-Myers grew up in Jamaica but received her Howard University College of Dentistry training in Washington D.C. Although Dr Lawson-Myers practised in the United States for some time, she desired to return to Jamaica. She could do just that after purchasing Liguanea Family Dental in Kingston. Together with her dental team, they serve a broad cross-section of patients in the Kingston and St. Andrew metropolitan areas. The significant emphasis on exceptional quality dental care and optimum customer service keeps the team striving for distinctiveness.
 
In 2016, she decided to further her studies and obtained a Fellowship from the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain. She is also a member of the American Association of Dental Sleep Medicine. In addition to practising General Dentistry, she serves many clients living with UARS, Sleep Apnea and TMJ issues.

She holds the distinction of being the first and only female Chairperson of the Dental Council of Jamaica. Before that, she served the council for six years and has held various positions, including Chairperson of the Dental Board of Examination Committee and Chief Dental Examiner.
