Meet Dr. Richard Pugliese
Dr. Richard Pugliese
"I am very passionate about preventive dentistry; I strive to create a zero-cavity generation. The most exciting part about my job is working with children every day. At times it is challenging, but it is certainly fun! It is rewarding to help my patients “graduate” from our pediatric office with ideal oral health, and even more importantly, a positive outlook on dentistry." - Dr. Pugliese
Education and Continuing Education
- Undergraduate degree – Providence College
- Doctorate of Dental Surgery – Medical College of Virginia
- Pediatric specialty – Boston University
In the almost 40 years of practicing pediatric dentistry, I have gained a vast amount of continuing education to maintain my standards of clinical excellence. Through my professional affiliations with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Board of Orthodontics(Diplomate), I am also able to stay involved with the dental community at large.
Outside the Office
Originally from Providence, RI, I currently reside in Williamsburg with my wife of 39 years. We have four children, two grandchildren, a dog, a fish, birds, and multiple turtles. In my off time I enjoy listening to music, playing golf, enjoying fine art, and spending time with my grandkids. I also belong to the CIAO, Jamestown Community Center, and Catholic Charity Drive, all of which afford me the opportunity to make a difference in my community.
