Disclosure: I received sample products from Smile Brilliant in exchange for this post. All opinions expressed are my own.
Your teeth might seem like a weird beauty topic, but they are actually one of your most important features. If you asked me to share what I think my best feature is, I would say my smile. I was blessed to have straight teeth and I never had to have braces or a retainer, but as I’ve gotten older they’ve definitely experienced some wear and tear.
A while back I was told that I was grinding my teeth and that I had to wear a night guard. It took me a while to get used to wearing it, but it significantly helped with the tooth sensitivity I was experiencing. Ever since then I’ve had to change some of my tooth brushing habits to accommodate my tooth sensitivity.
I was previously gifted an electric toothbrush about six years ago and have been using it ever since. I felt like I was brushing too hard on my own and using an electric toothbrush really helped me to calm that down. Earlier this year, Smile Brilliant reached out to me to try their CariPro Electric Toothbrush and I was thrilled, because I’ve literally had the same toothbrush for six years! A change was welcome!
The CariPro is GORGEOUS, at least for a toothbrush. I felt so fancy unboxing it and setting it up. It comes with its own charging stand and it has 5 different brush modes (clean, white, massage, gum care, sensitive). After using it for a while, I have some tips for you:
- When you first open it, you have to charge it for a full 24 hours before using it for the first time, so make sure you plan in advance.
- I like to use the sensitive setting, so before I apply the toothpaste, I turn it on, set it to the sensitive setting, and then turn it off. When you start it again it will start on the sensitive mode. That way you don’t have to start it vibrating and have your toothpaste fall off the brush.
- It has a waterproof design, so you can use it in the shower or bathtub (a great tip, if you want to use it with the Carbon Coco toothpaste).
- The CariPro has an interval smart timer (just like a Clarisonic) that tells you when to move to a new area. I initially struggled with this, but after a few tries, I focus the first two intervals on the bottom part of my mouth, and the second two on the top of my mouth which is a little easier for me.
The CariPro will help you remove seven times more plaque than a manual toothbrush and will get you noticeably whiter teeth in just two weeks! Plus Smile Brilliant allows you to try the toothbrush for 60 days and return it if you don’t love it (that’s pretty great!). I don’t have my next dentist appointment until June, but I can’t wait to see if my hygienist notices a difference in how my teeth look.
You want to make sure to replace your brush head every three months. I add a reminder in my phone so I don’t forget. The box I got (the Individual Package) has an extra one included, but you can order additional brush heads here.

Have you used an electric toothbrush before or tried anything from Smile Brilliant? I want to check out their night guard next, as I have a huge crack in mine and will need to replace it soon.
