Fun fact: At 30 years old, I have never had a cavity. And no, I don’t visit the dentist every 6 months like I’m supposed to, nor do I floss more than the 3 days after a dentist appointment because I feel guilty…you know what I’m talking about! I’m a soda and coffee lover, and eat my fair share of sweets, but I’m also a stickler when it comes to brushing my teeth, I can NEVER skip a brushing and I LOVE using an electric toothbrush.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND
Before Smile Brilliant sent me the cariPRO Ultrasonic Electric Toothbrush, I was already using an electric toothbrush and have been for years. I feel as if this experience has really helped me to be able to compare the differences between a regular electric toothbrush and an ultrasonic. I have used cheap non-name brand electric brushes, and most recently I have been using a Crest Spin Brush. Honestly, I have no complaints except for the fact that I have to replace the batteries in it so often as it does not have a charging station. Though, with that being said, I would definitely recommend the cariPRO over a basic electric toothbrush, and I’d love to tell you why!


WHY ELECTRIC?
For me, I have always felt that an electric toothbrush did a better job at cleaning my teeth than a manual toothbrush. I love getting that after dentist silky smooth feel and having something that rotates on your teeth while you move the brush is doubling that cleaning action. I feel like they reach into places that a stiff manual brush can’t get to.

WHY CARIPRO?
Most electric toothbrushes have a single on/off switch, and that’s it. On to brush, off to stop. The cariPRO has 5 different settings once the toothbrush is on. The toothbrush lights up indicating which setting you are in and is easily changed with the push of a button.

Brushing Modes:
Clean: normal day to day cleaning
White: stronger brushing than the clean setting, good for buildup and stains
Massage: use on the gums after normal cleaning
Gum Care: gentler care for cleaning gums
Sensitive: if you suffer from sensitivity or the Clean mode is too intense, this mode is much more gentle

I often find myself switching between the Clean and Sensitive modes for regular brushing, while using the Gum Care setting for my gums. The back of the toothbrush head has a grooved surface for tongue cleaning as well! I love love LOVE that the toothbrush head is only a single piece, I can't tell you how many times I have hurt my tongue with my Spinbrush because it has a space between the brush head and the moving parts. Seriously, ouch. The cariPRO can't do that because it uses vibrations and not extra moving parts to clean your teeth.

Most dentists recommend brushing your teeth twice a day, for 2 minutes each time, but do you set a timer? I certainly don’t. This toothbrush has a built-in timer that turns off at 2 minutes, but it also pauses briefly every 30 seconds for those 2 minutes, so you know when it is time to switch to the next quadrant of your mouth. I love this feature and so wish that it was a feature that kids electric toothbrushes had…it would be such a great learning tool! And honestly, kids could use the cariPRO, I just don’t think my son could resist playing with all of the features, ha!

Another awesome feature is that on a full charge, the toothbrush can last about 30 days. That means you can take it on vacation and not have to worry about bringing extra batteries (because it doesn’t take them) or the wireless charging dock. It is also waterproof for if you are a shower brusher and it is so incredibly light, even compared to my Spinbrush.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?
You have a couple of different options when purchasing your cariPRO toothbrush. Here is a brief look at what each package includes:

Individual Package ($119):
1 cariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush
2 replacement heads
1 wireless charging dock

Deluxe Package($129):
1 cariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush
4 replacement heads
1 wireless charging dock

Couples Package ($199):
2 cariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrushes
4 replacement heads
2 wireless charging docks

I have the Individual Package which comes with everything that one person would need, but if you are looking for purchase for you and a significant other, the Couples Package would be your best deal. All packages do come with a 2-year limited warranty and a 60-day trial, so you really can’t lose. While doing some quick researching, I found that some other name brand Sonic toothbrushes start at $220 so this truly is a great value for an Ultrasonic toothbrush.

THE OUTCOME
I have been using the cariPRO for about 2 weeks and I LOVE it. The Spinbrush got my teeth clean, but I really can feel a difference after using the cariPRO and it is wonderful. I’m pretty sure it reaches to new places giving an even cleaner feeling, and I don’t feel as guilty about not flossing (btw, you should totally be flossing!). As mentioned above, I switch between the Clean and Sensitive settings, but I have tried out all of them and can truly see how this is a toothbrush for everyone.
