About DenTek Oral Care, Inc.

We were going to call the company A Bunch of Oral Health Zealots Doing Really Cool Stuff, Inc., but it didn’t fit on the business card. So DenTek it was. DenTek was founded in Petaluma, CA in 1982 by John Jansheski. John remains DenTek’s CEO and Chief Innovation Officer to this day. From its inception, DenTek has been focused on providing Innovative consumer oral care products. The company began with just one product, the Dental Pik, which was invented by John's father (a dentist—are you seeing a pattern here?). Using the Dental Pik as a building block, DenTek was built one product at a time with one goal--to provide innovative solution for today’s oral care zealot. The DenTek spirit of innovation continues to drive the company. Since moving to Maryville, TN in 2001, DenTek has launched dozens of zealot focused innovations. And we’re just getting warmed up. With Oral Care of increasing importance to people everywhere, DenTek takes its mantra--Oral Health for Life--very seriously. We have many more smile-inducing products in development. Say tuned for the latest news.
