Parodontax is a specialized brand of toothpaste designed to address gum health, specifically targeting bleeding gums and gingivitis. The brand originated in Germany in 1937, developed by a German dentist named Dr. Focke. Its unique formula originally contained sodium bicarbonate and herbal extracts, which gave it a distinctive salty taste.

Over the decades, the brand's ownership shifted through various pharmaceutical mergers. It became a core part of the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) consumer healthcare portfolio. In 2022, GSK spun off its consumer healthcare division into an independent company called Haleon. Haleon now operates as the ultimate owner, managing the brand globally from its headquarters in the United Kingdom. Manufacturing for the European market often takes place in specialized facilities in Slovakia, though production can occur in multiple regions depending on the local market requirements.
