3. CAN CHILDREN USE ISSA™ baby BY THEMSELVES?

ISSA™ baby has been designed so that children can easily hold the toothbrush by themselves. However, a parent or adult guardian must always be present to supervise during use, and to help teach their child how to use the brush properly for optimal results.

4. CAN MY TEETHING CHILD CHEW ON ISSA™ baby TO RELIEVE SORE GUMS?

ISSA™ baby is designed for brushing teeth and massaging gums. It is NOT intended to be used as a chewing toy. Vigorous chewing on the device may cause damage to the silicone brush head and bristles.

5. CAN ISSA™ baby BE USED BY CHILDREN EXPERIENCING ANY ORAL CONDITIONS?

ISSA™ baby brushes were developed for gentle yet effective cleaning of children’s teeth and gums, and it is ideal for our smaller brushers who have sensitive teeth and gums. However, we recommend consulting your dentist prior to using ISSA™ baby if you or your child has medical concerns.

6. WHAT KIND OF TOOTHPASTE CAN BE USED WITH ISSA™ baby?

ISSA™ baby brushes can be used with any infant-formulated soothing gel, toothpaste, tooth powder, tooth polish or other tooth-cleaning products recommended for your child’s age. Do not use any toothpaste that contains bleach with the device.

7. CAN THE INTENSITY OF THE SONIC PULSATIONS BE ADJUSTED?

ISSA™ baby features 2 optimal modes for early oral hygiene needs - Gum Massage Mode and Brushing Mode. The intensity of the sonic pulsations is already pre-set for both of these modes for optimal comfort and enhanced results, and therefore cannot be adjusted.

8. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISSA™ kids & ISSA™ baby?

The main difference between ISSA™ kids and ISSA™ baby is that ISSA™ baby is specifically designed for babies and children aged 0-4 years, and therefore has no detachable parts and is made entirely of medical-grade silicone to be extra-gentle on gums and soft baby tooth enamel. ISSA™ kids, on the other hand, was specifically designed for children aged 5-12 years, and features a detachable hybrid brush head made of a combination of medical-grade silicone and PBT polymer bristles to be strong on plaque, while remaining gentle on gums.

9. HOW IS ISSA™ baby DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSHES FOR CHILDREN?

ISSA™ baby is different from other electric toothbrushes for children in three very significant ways. Firstly, it is made entirely of medical-grade silicone, so you don’t have to worry about your baby scratching soft baby tooth enamel or damaging gum tissue. Secondly, unlike other toothbrushes which have replacement brush heads, ISSA™ baby’s brush head does not ever need to be replaced, and so has absolutely no detachable parts, making it ultra-safe. And thirdly, lasting up to 480 uses on a single charge, ISSA™ baby lasts much longer than any other baby toothbrush on the market!

The intensity indicator light at the bottom of your device flashes while the device is charging, to indicate how much battery your device has. When the indicator light stops blinking, it means your ISSA™ baby toothbrush is fully charged.

3. HOW DO I CLEAN MY ISSA™ baby?

First make sure your ISSA™ baby toothbrush is powered off. Then clean your toothbrush by washing the brush with warm water, while running your fingers through the bristles. We recommend washing your brush in this way after each use. Once washed, simply allow your toothbrush to air-dry. Placing ISSA™ baby in a UV sanitation case is possible, but may affect the color of the silicone. You can also clean ISSA™ baby in your dishwasher by using a maximum temperature setting of 80°C with a 1-hour wash / rinse cycle and 30-minute drying cycle, or using a baby bottle sterilizer with a maximum temperature of 100°C for no more than 20 minutes.
