Inspiring Conversations with Kirk Quigless of Quigless Innovations

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kirk Quigless. Dr. Q. and his team share their story with us below:

Dr. Q is a third-generation health care professional and a second-generation dentist. He has been a practicing dentist for nearly 30 years. Dentistry is literally in his blood. With family and community being his number one passion, Dr. Q ran a very successful mobile dental outreach program that provided dental services to the schools in the underserved districts in parts of Missouri and Illinois for over ten years. Teams of Drs., hygienists and dental assistants provided preventative dental services on site to more than 100 children daily. Generally, this was the only dental care for 90% of the children seen.

The vision and purpose of Dr. Q’s Fresh Breath Club goes beyond this amazing product. Not only is it a very attractive product line, it is eco-friendly, sustainable 100% bamboo. Further, Dr. Q is committed to giving back to the community and a firm believer in reciprocity. He has a relationship with a few near and dear community-based organizations and outreach programs. Organizations that are focused on providing access to mentoring, financial, vocational/tutorial, educational assistance and cultural programs. Dr. Q’s vision is to use Dr. Q’s Fresh Breath Club as a vehicle to expose the youth to business and internships. To empower them to start their own businesses. Children in the community-based organizations that Dr. Q’s partners with will be able to be employed to do some of the pick-packing and shipping for the company. Additionally, for every subscription sold, each time subscription products are shipped out a toothbrush will be given away to a needy child or family.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
There are always struggles when designing and launching new products. A number of things have to align for your project to move forward. You have to build a time and you are the team manager. You must coordinate everything from concept, design, legal, manufacturing, technology, marketing, inventory, shipping, etc. Most manufacturing is done overseas so you often have to have meetings in the middle of the night with your manufacturers.

As you know, we’re big fans of Quigless Innovations, LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?

Dr. Quigless has Three US Patents all of which are related to the field of Dentistry. Quigless Innovations, LLC raised 1.5 Million dollars for its patent on a neuromuscular dental orthotic appliance back in 2016. Unfortunately, Dr. Quigless’ wife passed shortly after the money was raised and he made a decision to return the money so that he could focus on raising his children. He has since gotten all of three of his children off to college and two of them have graduated already and the youngest is finishing up her second year. Quigless Innovations, LLC currently operates two brands. GoldenBite Oral Appliance and Dr. Q’s Fresh Breath Club. GoldenBite is a neuromuscular oral appliance that can be used to prevent nighttime teeth grinding and associated jaw pain. Dr. Q’s Fresh Breath Club is a subscription service for eco-friendly oral hygiene products. Quigless Innovations, LLC is a community-oriented company and regularly gives back.
