Rebecca (Becky) graduated with an Associate of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene from Middlesex Community College. She has been a Registered Hygienist for over thirty years. As a professional, she regularly attends Yankee Dental Congress to keep updated on current dental hygiene trends and concerns. She is CPR and OSHA trained.

Becky has been with our team for over thirty years and is looking forward to many more. Her enthusiasm and commitment to her patient’s oral health has kept her motivated to provide superior dental care for generations of patients.

She loves being a hygienist because everyday there is an opportunity to build relationships with patients while working with them and teaching them how to achieve optimum dental health. She finds the ability to follow up with each patient can be very rewarding.

When she’s not taking care of patients, Becky enjoys family time with her husband Joe, and two sons, Joe and Matthew. Whether spending time on the Cape, hiking in New Hampshire or vacationing in Aruba, it’s all about family and friends. Becky also enjoys day trips, seasonal and cultural festivals and supporting community events.
