Dentyne (/ˌdɛnˈtiːn/) is a brand of chewing gum and breath mints available in several countries globally. It is owned by Perfetti Van Melle.[1]
In 1899, a New York City druggist Franklin V. Canning formulated a chewing gum which he promoted as an aid to oral hygiene.[2] The package read "To prevent decay, To sweeten the breath, To keep teeth white." Mr. Canning called his new gum Dentyne which is a combination of the words "dental" and "hygiene" (and also sounds similar to the word dentine). In 1916 the brand was sold to the American Chicle Company. By the 1930s, Dentyne was produced by the Adams Gum Company. Adams was one of the companies that made up the American Chicle Company.
