GUM is a prominent dental care brand originally established in the United States. Its history began in 1923 with the invention of a toothbrush designed by Dr. John O. Butler, leading to the formation of the Butler company. The brand has since become a global leader in providing innovative oral health solutions, including toothbrushes, floss, and interdental cleaners.

In 1988, the brand was acquired by Sunstar, a major Japanese multinational company. Sunstar has integrated the GUM brand into its global portfolio, focusing on the link between oral health and overall body health. Production for GUM products is distributed across specialized facilities globally, with manufacturing sites often located in regions such as the United States, Europe, and Asia to serve their respective markets.

Today, Sunstar Group remains the ultimate owner, managing the brand from its headquarters in Switzerland and Japan. The brand is recognized for its scientifically driven approach to oral care, emphasizing professional-grade hygiene tools for consumer use.
