Dr. Cara Coleman Lawson

DMD

Dr. Lawson is from Lake City, South Carolina. She graduated Magna Cum Laude and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry at the University of South Carolina. Dr. Lawson graduated from dental school at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston in May 2012. After her time at MUSC, she completed the Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program at the Dental College of Georgia in Augusta, Georgia. She is a current member of the South Carolina Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry.

Dr. Lawson grew up in a dental family and has long had an appreciation for the dental field. Her father was a dentist in Lake City, SC for 30 years and is the current Director of the General Practice Residency at the Dental College of Georgia. She ultimately chose a career in dentistry for the sole purpose of helping people–not only by relieving their pain, but also by enhancing their everyday life by improving their smiles. Dr. Lawson loves the teaching aspect of dentistry, which was instilled in her by her mother, an elementary teacher of 35 years. During her time at MUSC, Dr. Lawson was a teaching assistant in both preclinical and clinical classes. She hopes that every child will know that they too can dream big and make their dreams a reality.
