Dentyne is a historic brand of chewing gum originally created in the late 19th century. The 'Ice' sub-brand is specifically marketed for its intense cooling sensation and breath-freshening properties. Dentyne was founded by Franklin V. Canning, a New York pharmacist, who marketed the gum as an aid to oral hygiene.

Over many decades, the brand's ownership shifted through major corporate mergers, moving from American Chicle to Warner-Lambert, and later to Pfizer and Cadbury. Today, the brand is a core part of the global snacking portfolio of Mondelēz International. While manufacturing occurs globally to serve different regional markets, products found in North America are typically produced in large-scale confectionery facilities in Mexico or the United States.
