Deby, Dental Assistant
Hi! My name is Deby, and I’m originally from Brazil. I’ve always had a passion for caring for others, which led me to pursue a career in dentistry. I completed my training as a Dental Assistant at NECC (Northern Essex Community College), where I developed strong clinical and patient care skills.
I believe that a healthy smile can change lives, and I love being part of a team that helps people feel more confident and comfortable with their dental care. Whether it’s supporting patients through treatment, keeping things organized behind the scenes, or simply offering a friendly smile, I’m here to help make every visit a positive experience.
Outside of work, I’m married and share my life with my beloved dog also a proud Brazilian! I love spending time in the sun, especially during the summer, and cooking is one of my favorite ways to relax and connect with family and friends.
I’m grateful to be in a profession where I can combine compassion, skill, and personal connection every day.
