Colgate PerioGard has received the Indian Society of Periodontology (ISP) Seal of Acceptance for its gum care regimen comprising PerioGard Toothpaste, PerioGard Toothbrush and PerioGard Mouthwash. The recognition makes the portfolio the first gum care regimen in India to receive the ISP Seal of Acceptance.
The distinction follows a scientific evaluation of the products and highlights the importance of evidence-based approaches to gum care. Colgate said the recognition reflects its focus on developing oral care products supported by clinical research and professional evaluation.Gum health is an important part of oral health, but signs of gum problems can often go unnoticed. Colgate said greater awareness is needed to encourage people to identify early signs and adopt appropriate daily oral care practices.
Prabha Narasimhan, Managing Director, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited, said the company believes healthy gums are an important foundation for a healthy mouth. She added that the independent recognition is an important milestone in the company’s efforts to raise awareness about gum health and encourage informed oral care choices.
Dr Ashish Jain, Secretary, Indian Society of Periodontology, said the ISP Seal of Acceptance is intended to help consumers and dental professionals identify products that meet established standards of safety and efficacy. He added that the recognition of Colgate PerioGard reflects a shared focus on evidence-based periodontal care.
The PerioGard range is positioned as a complete gum care system, bringing together toothpaste, toothbrush and mouthwash as part of a daily oral hygiene routine. According to Colgate, the system is designed to address five signs associated with gum disease and help consumers pay greater attention to gum health.
Gunjit Jain, Executive Vice President, Marketing, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited, said gum problems affect a significant part of the Indian population, while many people may not recognise the early or less obvious signs. He added that the PerioGard system aims to improve awareness while providing consumers with a range of products supported by dental expertise. The ISP recognition adds to Colgate-Palmolive’s long-standing presence in India’s oral care sector. The company has operated in the country for around 90 years and has focused on oral health education, product innovation and access to oral care solutions.
Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited is a leading oral care company in India, with a portfolio spanning oral and personal care products. The company has also undertaken initiatives focused on sustainability and community well-being, including efforts to reduce plastic waste, improve recyclability and conserve water and energy across its operations.

The ISP Seal of Acceptance for the PerioGard regimen marks another step in Colgate’s efforts to strengthen the focus on gum health in India and encourage consumers to adopt more proactive oral care practices.
