I previously reviewed and tested out Smile Brilliant's At-Home Whitening so when they asked if I was interested in trying out their CariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush I jumped at the chance.
I may have also been influenced by the fact that I have my biannual dentist appointment at the end of the month. Last time they told me to focus on brushing the backs of my teeth more to reduce plaque so I definitely had some homework to do. Anyone else get nervous about dentist appointments or is it just me?
I am someone who has always seen the dentist regularly (thanks Mom!) and went through a lot of orthodontic work as a kid (palette expander, braces...) so I know the importance of taking care of my oral hygiene and will use anything that can help. I have been using an older electric toothbrush semi-regularly for a while after receiving one as a Christmas gift years ago, but it was definitely time for an upgrade.
The CariPRO looks really sleek and has a small circular docking station that you plug in. The battery is said to last 30 days. It's super easy to use with only two buttons on the handle-the power button and the mode button. There are 5 different cleaning modes: clean, whitening, massage, gum care, and sensitive. I mostly use the clean or whitening modes and love that the brush takes all the guesswork out of brushing my teeth Each CariPRO mode lasts for 2 minutes and pause every 30 seconds to let you know when to move the brush to the next quadrant of your teeth. I find that the brush is really lightweight and has more of a vibrating motion rather than spinning so it feels gentle but is effective at cleaning your teeth.
The price of the individual package (1 toothbrush, 2 brush heads, and 1 charging dock) is $119 with additional toothbrush heads costing 2/$13, 4/$23, and 8/$43. You can find out more information on the Smile Brilliant website
