In this the age of technology also known as the information age, the resulting phenomenon aptly named SOCIAL MEDIA has afforded its millions of users world wide the opportunity to share information with each other. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and all the others are all at our disposal for free. A growing list of users have been utilizing these media as a means of helping others and giving back to society.

Among this growing list is the affable Dr. Heather-Dawn Lawson Myers, one of Jamaica's most eminent, distinguished and respected Dentists. In an ongoing YouTube series entitled HD's Jazz Journey Dr. Lawson Myers voluntarily shares her dental knowledge for the benefit of the wider society at. With the use of video images and simple language she has dramatized and simplified technical dental information to a level where it can be easily comprehended by laypersons. This has provided them with well needed clarity on the otherwise technical dental topics and issues that she addresses in each episode.

Dr. Lawson Myers said the HD's Jazz Journey series was born out of a passion she has to empower people and help them make better decisions about dental and health matters.This she insisted should be based on factual information rather than myth.

A wealth of important dental and health related information have been divulged through these videos. These include explanations that link some dental problems to the lifestyle and practices that caused them. Information on topics such as gum disease, cosmetic dentistry, root canal, oral hygiene and others are presented on a proverbial platter for all and sundry.

Pointing to the pendulum swing in the method and source of gathering information, especially among young people, she explained that the title HD’s Jazz Journey is more "hippy" and social media friendly and likely to attract viewers than any caption of a dental nature. She accepted that social media is now the preferred choice and decided to 'go wid di crowd'.

"I started filming these ideas on my smart phone, in fact the first few episodes were done with my iPhone and uploaded to the YouTube channel of my dental practice Liguanea Family Dental. I was not satisfied with the quality so I decided to take a more professional approach with the production and presentation. The feedback so far has been encouraging and satisfying. People have confirmed that they have benefited from the episodes that they have seen".

Dr. Lawson Myers' use of natural occurrences to explain the causes, development and treatment of some dental problems is aimed at ensuring that even children with a little knowledge of nature will grasp the information that has been presented. In real terms her approach epitomizes the concept of 'NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND'.

HD's Jazz Journey is a four-episodes-per-season series. It is uploaded on YouTube during the third week of each month. This is followed by a news letter sent as an e-blast to patients of her dental office Liguanea Family Dental on the fourth week of the month following each upload
