I have nothing but praise for the Black Onyx io9! However, after a dental visit, my gums have been eroding so I switched to the Sensitive mode & a Sensitive & Gum toothpaste. I’m having a hard time finding the black replacement brush though for Sensitive & Gum. Is that only available in white? If so, it doesn’t match my black onyx. Can we please fix this ASAP?

I bought my first ISSA in 2019. Since then, I have purchased one for everyone in my family of four! We all love this amazing toothbrush! It’s so easy to travel with due to the long battery life and the sleeve that comes with it. I feel like the hybrid brush head keeps my teeth as clean as possible. Check ups with my dentist are always positive. I just bought my new ISSA as the old one stopped work LoriM · foreo.com
