smile brilliant: cariPRO electric toothbrush review + giveaway

s m i l e   b r i l l i a n t

When it comes to beauty routines there are so many brushes involved.  The right make-up brush to contour your cheeks.  The proper hairbrush to style and tame your mane. Often forgotten is how important the perfect toothbrush is. It may not be as glamorous as some of the other brushes in our lives, but proper dental hygiene is an essential part of any beauty and wellness routine. After all a brilliant smile is the most important part of your face! All the more reason to Smile Brilliant! (haha, see what I did there...)

Growing up with a very unpleasant childhood dentist, I became obsessed with dental health. To the point of being downright over enthusiastic when it comes to the latest and greatest dental products and gadgets. Charcoal toothpaste? Coconut floss? Count me in! I’ve used an electric toothbrush for as long as I can remember, but it has always been a love/hate relationship of sorts. I’m excited to say that the Smile Brilliant cariPRO is everything I’ve been searching for in an electric toothbrush! 

When Smile Brilliant reached out and offered to send me the cariPRO in exchange for a very honest review I was beyond ecstatic to try out a new dental gadget, but also a bit skeptical. When it comes to electric toothbrushes I’m a tough critic. As fabulous as the fan fave Quip is, in my experience it just can’t compete with its more complex counterparts in terms of cleanliness and plaque removal. I still love it for travel and on-the-go, but for day to day use I prefer something that gives a deeper clean and more options.

The first thing I noticed when opening the box is how well designed the cariPRO is. I know you can’t judge a toothbrush by its cover, but this is a very stylish and sophisticated edition to the bathroom. I’m a big fan of the modern gray and sleek silver. The handle is soft, ergonomic and comfortable- unlike my former Oral-B which was slippery, unwieldily, and looked like a kitchen utensil. The cariPRO is also waterproof! In case you love brushing in the shower as much as I do. I was delighted to discover it can last about 30 days on one charge! My former toothbrush only lasted 10 days if I was lucky.

Next up I investigated the brush heads. Crucial when choosing a toothbrush because you want clean teeth, but not painful gums. The cariPRO passes with flying colors! The bristles are perfectly staggered to really reach all of those difficult nooks and crannies. Some of my previous electric toothbrushes didn’t hold up to the floss test. Nothing like being surprised by what your toothbrush missed, yikes! Luckily the cariPRO leaves no trace of everything bagel behind. It passed the floss test!!! Instead of a spinning head, it vibrates faster than the competition, removing 7x more plaque and bagel. The bristles and vibrations were soft enough to not irritate my gums, but still very effective in getting that sparkling clean.

Offering 5 different settings, cleverly disguised within 2 buttons, I found it very user-friendly. The cariPRO also offers some cool options I haven’t seen before. The settings are: clean, whitening, massage, gum care, and sensitive. Leaps and bounds beyond my old electric toothbrush that only had an on/off button. Like the Quip, it also has a timer set for 2 minutes and it alerts you when to switch quadrants.

Lastly, the most important test- how smooth do my teeth feel post brushing, and how long does that feeling last? Again, cariPRO for the win! My teeth have honestly never felt cleaner. They were perfectly smooth, and my mouth felt so remarkably fresh. After a couple weeks of use, I noticed a whiter brighter smile in addition to the sparkling clean feeling. At this point I'm ready to build the cariPRO a statue in its honor! Cleaner, whiter teeth feels amazing! I'm also pleasantly surprised by how affordable it is considering how much it offers. Now I can’t wait to see my dentist because I have a feeling she will be very happy! Happy teeth = happy dentist = happy you!
