I’m not gonna lie, the first thing I notice about someone is their smile. I’m sure I’m not the only one. A smile can tell you so much about a person. Keeping a bright smile is important to me for confidence but also for my health. Did you know that good oral health decreases your risk for heart disease and stroke?

I have used a traditional toothbrush all my life. I guess I really didn’t have a reason to switch to anything else. I never had my dentist suggest that I switch to a sonic toothbrush. My husband actually got one for Christmas one year and that was the first time I had even entertained the thought of switching. I’ve heard great things about the new sonic toothbrushes out there, and if keeping a clean smile can help keep me healthy, then I’m all for it!

You may remember Smile Brilliant from this post I did with them after using their teeth whitening system for sensitive teeth (which I LOVE and still use). So when they came to me with their new CariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush, I definitely wanted to try it out. After using the this toothbrush for a few weeks, I never knew my teeth could feel so clean! I can’t believe I have been missing out my entire life! I can have the right after the dentist, super smooth teeth feeling every day!

I will never go back to a traditional toothbrush and here’s why:

1. The Timer

Do you brush your teeth for a full 2 minutes? Now be honest. Don’t lie. I’m not gonna tell your dentist. I for sure didn’t until I got the CariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush. The timer pulses every 30 seconds meaning it’s time to move on to the next quadrant. This helps ensure that I am getting into this harder to clean places since I’m spending more time brushing each area.

Who else multi-tasks when brushing their teeth (guilty!) What I mean is that I am often putting away clean clothes, or washing the bathroom counter or something, and I’m not really concentrating on brushing well. The timer holds me accountable and allows for me to pay better attention to cleaning each quadrant thouroughly.

2. Decreased Sensitivity

I really thought a traditional toothbrush worked better if you brush really hard and really scrub that plaque off. Sure it might have helped a little but noticed I was having more sensitivity. After reading a little about it, it seems to be a common problem because the actual movement of the toothbrush head can damage teeth and gums. With the CariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush, plaque is removed more by vibration meaning less irritation to teeth and gums. I have noticed the bristles seem softer and don’t aggravate my gums as much as some other, stiffer brushes.

One of the 5 settings on the toothbrush is for sensitivity. I have always had pretty sensitive teeth and this setting is my favorite. After years of brushing too hard with a regular toothbrush thinking that would make them whiter, the sensitive setting is so much nicer to my gums.

3. Cleaner Feeling Teeth

I don’t think I realized how clean my teeth could feel until after I wasn’t able to use my cariPRO ultrasonic toothbrush. Of course you can pack yours with you, but on our last trip, we were borderline overweight on our bag (shocking, I know!) so I swapped out my CariPROfor a regular toothbrush. After a few days, I really missed the ultra smooth, clean feeling when I ran my tongue across my teeth. It felt as if my teeth were still wearing little fuzzy slippers even after brushing with that regular toothbrush.

The CLEAN setting is the base setting on the toothbrush and perfect for everyday use. It really wasn’t too harsh on my teeth or gums and left them feeling squeaky clean!

4. A Whiter Smile

I drink my fair share of coffee and red wine so I’m always trying to get a whiter smile. I have noticed after using the CariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush for a few weeks, my teeth seem whiter. I use the WHITENING setting a couple times a week. It’s kind of a super mode to really lift the stains off. I wouldn’t recommend using it everyday because it can be a little too much for my sensitivity.

When I use this setting in combination with my favorite home teeth whitening trays, I can definitely notice a difference in my smile.

5. Affordable

Have you seen thee price tag on some of those electric toothbrushes? I was shocked when I first started looking into getting one. The CariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush is a great value for what you get. Plus, by having overall better dental health, you save money by eliminating costly dental procedures. And I love that I can order the replacement heads to be shipped right to my door! With the coupon code below, it’s even more affordable.

I would definitely recommend the CariPRO Toothbrush if you are looking for something to up you dental hygiene game. I have realized that an electric toothbrush is a must in order to get into all those hard to reach places.
