A Toothbrush to Tickle Your Gums

Who doesn’t love a good tickle?!? I know I do! 🙂 What about a tickle that makes your teeth cleaner and your gums happy? That is a win in my book! I have to tell ya…I’m excited about this post! Awhile back, I wrote a blog post about my experience with SmileBrilliant and their amazing teeth whitening kits! Well…I’m writing about them again, but this time they have mastered the electric toothbrush! Can I just say, I was super skeptical. I mean, they specialize in teeth whitening, but a new electric toothbrush is a whole other thing…and I loved my old toothbrush! I gave it a try and let me tell you…I’ll never look back! 

The name of their new toothbrush is the cariPRO and it’s an Ultrasonic electric toothbrush that  is not only amazing for your teeth and gums, but it’s about half the price of rival toothbrushes out there. I’m a bit of a weirdo when it comes to teeth…so I am sharing this because I believe in it. 

I floss everyday (literally can’t sleep unless I floss before bed), brush 3 times a day, and started flossing my kids teeth before they were 2 (good habits start young). 🙂 Yes – I am that person! I’ll write a separate post about kids brushing and flossing tips, so keep an eye out! Did I mention that I’m also a coffee drinker (mom fuel) and love a glass of red wine with dinner? All toothbrushes are not created equal. Finding one that isn’t $$$$$$ – does an amazing job keeping my teeth clean and white – and my gums healthy – is a big win in my book! 

Did you know that an estimated 4.5 million Americans, most of them children and teens, wear braces? That is according to the American Association of Orthodontics. That’s a huge number! Did you have braces? It is so common, and many adults who didn’t have braces, or didn’t wear their retainers, are having ortho work done as adults. 

I had braces as a kid and still have 2 permanent retainers – that are tiny wires behind my front teeth (top and bottom). My kids will definitely need braces when they get older! With my retainers, and the amount of coffee I require to survive, I need a toothbrush that can help ensure I don’t end up with a bunch of plaque buildup, fillings, etc. I’m smitten with the cariPRO because it does the job so well! My mouth feels so clean, and my gums feel wonderful – it’s a little bit surprising! 

Dan (hubby) and I have been using the cariPRO for the last 2 weeks and we feel such a difference. It has 5 different modes to choose from, but my top 2 modes are called “clean” and “white”. Those modes both seem to tickle and massage my gums and make my mouth feel extra clean! 

Did you know that you are supposed to brush your teeth for 2 minutes total – each time you brush your teeth? It doesn’t matter if you use a regular or an electric toothbrush – the rules are the same. I’ve tried to brush my teeth for 2 minutes with a regular toothbrush and it is SO long! It’s still really long with an electric toothbrush! The cariPRO has made the 2 minutes go by super fast! I thought it was silly and sort of pointless – but the toothbrush pulses to let you know when to switch areas in your mouth, so you can brush all 4 main “quadrants” of your mouth for equal amounts of time. Because it breaks up the time into short little chunks and lets you know with a pulse – the time goes by super quick! It’s weird and so awesome! 

Being such a weirdo about my teeth – you would think I already brush all areas of my mouth for equal time – and for 2 minutes total…but I’ve never been good at it. I figured I was brushing everything fine – but now I am super pumped because I’m certain that I’m giving all areas of my mouth equal love, cleaning and attention. 🙂 My whole mouth (not just teeth) feels amazing!
