Trident is a pretty cool word… you just can’t help not loving to say it! You hear the name “Trident” and automatically think of one of two things. Trident is the three-pronged spear of Poseidon, god of the seas in Ancient Greece mythology, or Trident being the popular and well-known brand of gum. The word’s origin ‘Tria’ is Greek for ‘three’ as well as ‘tri’ also meaning ‘tree’, referring to the gum’s three enzymes that are designed to soften dental tartar. While ‘donti’ means tooth, or ‘dent’ which references the gum’s focus on dental health. Trident symbolizes a copious amount of things.
