Sunstar Launches G.U.M PROCARE for Periodontal Care in China

Sunstar Introduces G.U.M PROCARE Series for Oral Care in China

In mid-March 2026, Sunstar Group is excited to announce the release of its latest series, G.U.M PROCARE, which focuses exclusively on home care following periodontal treatment. This initiative is part of Sunstar's efforts to strengthen its oral care business across Asia, particularly in China, where growing economic prosperity has led to increased awareness of oral health. Alarmingly, it is estimated that about one in three individuals in their 50s suffer from severe periodontal disease in the region.

The G.U.M PROCARE series emerges as a vital resource for patients who have completed their dental treatments but may still feel apprehensive about managing their oral hygiene at home. Designed with input from dental professionals, the product line aims to instill confidence in patients regarding their post-treatment care routines. By integrating dental office care with seamless home self-care, the series establishes a comprehensive Periodontal Disease Management System.

One of the primary concerns for patients following periodontal treatment is the risk of recurrence. The immediate post-treatment phase is particularly sensitive, as gums are often delicate. Many patients struggle with self-care during this crucial period, leading to insufficient home care practices and a higher likelihood of recurrence. Sunstar's G.U.M PROCARE series responds to this pressing need, emphasizing a thoughtful approach that combines easy-to-use products with formulations targeted at reducing the bacteria that cause recurrence.

The series includes a variety of products tailored to the needs of patients, with a particular focus on those who have delicate oral conditions post-treatment. By employing scientifically-backed methodologies, Sunstar ensures that its offerings not only enhance the effectiveness of post-treatment care but also empower patients to take charge of their oral health with confidence.
