Dr. John's Candies® was founded by Dr. John Bruinsma, a dentist, and his wife Debra, a dental hygienist. Introduced at the American Dental Association Annual Meeting in 1995, Dr. John's Candies® soon became the best selling sugar free candy brand offered to dentists in the United States.
Mission: Dr. John's Candies® exists to develop unique, health-based sugar free products that deliver valuable preventative health benefits for all people, and to provide education to maximize those benefits.
