FAQ

Can I use the ISSA™ mikro during bath time?

What do I do if the silicone splits during use or the toothbrush breaks?

The ISSA™ mikro is made from vulcanized medical grade silicone for durability and safety. It has undergone all necessary testing to ensure the material is safe for use in the body. However, if you notice the ISSA™ mikro is damaged and suspect your child has swallowed any part of the ISSA™ mikro, we recommend you contact your health care provider.

What is the life-span of the ISSA™ mikro?

Can my child use the ISSA™ mikro if they have mouth ulcers, tooth decay, gum disease or any other oral conditions?

We suggest that if your child suffers from a serious oral condition, consult your dental-care professional before using the ISSA™ mikro.

When should use of the ISSA™ mikro be stopped?

If you notice imperfections on the silicone, discontinue use. Silicone is highly durable, but degrades under certain conditions – consult this manual’s Cleaning and Important Safety Information sections for how to prevent this.

How does the ISSA™ mikro work?

Through a combination of pulsations channeled through soft and flexible silicone bristles, the ISSA™ mikro effectively cleans teeth while providing comfortable and soft gum massage which results in heathy gums.

The ISSA™ mikro is designed for brushing teeth and massaging gums. It is NOT intended to be used as a chewing toy. The ISSA™ mikro should not be used by children without supervision from a responsible adult. Vigorous chewing on the device may cause damage to the silicone brush head and bristles.

Is Sonic Pulse Technology (pulsations) safe for babies and young children?

The pulsations from FOREO's Sonic Pulse Technology are completely safe for babies and feel pleasant and soothing on their teeth and gums.
