Dr. Stephen Wilson Paulette

Dr. Paulette grew up in Richmond, VA and completed his college education at Hampden-Sydney College. From there he attended the Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry. After serving as a dentist in the U.S. Army for 3 years, he discovered his desire to focus on the treatment of children. Dr. Paulette completed his hospital pediatric dentistry training at the Children's Medical Center of Pittsburgh in 1983. To further his desire to treat children and pediatric trauma, he chose to spend another four years in oral surgery. Dr. Paulette completed his specialty in oral and maxillofacial surgery the summer of 1987.
In the spring of 2003 Dr. Paulette was called to active duty serving in Iraq and Kuwait as a Commander in the United States Naval Reserves. Dr. Paulette feels his experience serving his country was extremely rewarding. The overwhelming support of his family, friends, staff and the community was very humbling. Being away from home was difficult; however, knowing that he …had so much support back home made it easier. Free time for Dr. Paulette means a chance to exercise to stay in shape and spend time with his large family and awesome wife. Together they have seven children and two grandchildren.
