Protect and Hydrate: The New Era of Gumguard Oral Hygiene
This product combines Gumguard’s unique five-component complex with hyaluronic acid, known for its moisture-attracting and retaining properties. Compared to the current "Gumguard Original," the new formula features a high-density liquid texture that is seven times thicker. It is specifically made to stick better to teeth and gums, helping with oral care, including preventing cavities and gum disease.
According to Precedence Research, the Periodontal Disease Treatment Market size accounted for USD 2.94 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 3.17 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 6.23 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 7.80% from 2026 to 2035 as demand grows for technological advancements in diagnostics, laser therapy, and, in regenerative techniques, alongside rising healthcare expenditures and a shift towards preventative care.
A clinical study at Yonsei University Dental Hospital, which included patients with gingivitis and periodontitis, showed that using this product led to better gum inflammation scores and a reduction in bleeding frequency.

Dong-A Pharmaceutical noted that more than 60% of adults suffer from dry mouth, a condition that can increase the risk of gum disease. The company highlighted that this product was created to help maintain moisture in the mouth and assist with daily gum health care.
A recent report by Precedence Research highlights that the Periodontal Disease Treatment Market is benefiting from the rising prevalence of periodontal disease, an aging population, and increased awareness of oral-systemic health links.
