Before graduating from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in 1996, Dr. Rich Bailey had already gained notoriety and fame as a successful inventor and entrepreneur. His wacky creation, Billy-Bob Teeth, not only brought laughter to millions, but also spawned a new worldwide novelty tooth market. Dr. Rich and his crooked pearly whites have appeared on Jay Leno, The Today Show with Katie Couric, as well as in major motion pictures such as Austin Powers, Joe Dirt, and WaterBoy causing many Hollywood celebrities to get “hooked-up” with Billy-Bob Teeth!

Today Dr. Rich is a champion for Floss Across America,
his National Oral Health Program dedicated to teaching
children the importance of Good Oral Health Habits
with a Primary Focus On Flossing. The foundation
motto is “No Smile Left Behind.”

Dr. Rich also maintains a small town practice in Idaho
and balances his time between dentistry and public
speaking, bringing his colorful presentations to students
and professionals alike with his unique brand of humor
and inspiration.
