Still Using Smile Brilliant (plus new products & a giveaway!)

This post is in partnership with Smile Brilliant.


I’ve written a couple of times about dental products I really like & trust. One of them is a custom-fitted whitening system that removed heavy coffee stains from my teeth. I was shocked but extremely pleased with the results. See them here.

The other product is the cariPRO Ultrasonic toothbrush. I shared it as not only an everyday essential, but also one I can no longer travel without. Find that post & my opinions here. I’ve been using the cariPRO for three years & it’s still going strong!

Both of them are a part of Smile Brilliant’s growing oral care product line.

What I especially appreciate is that the products are custom-formulated with the latest research. Your oral care is improved through real science & innovation. Smile Brilliant’s lab-direct process makes getting professional results affordable & easy.

In the last few years, they've taken this model & expanded their line to include something for everyone. From the newest in the cariPRO line - a cordless water flosser that allows for easy & effective cleaning, to a custom night guard system that protects the teeth from nighttime grinding.

My daughters & I partnered with Smile Brilliant again to try some of their new products & share our thoughts with you. A list of those items is below. Click on the products to visit the site for more details & pricing.

So what the heck are these products & what do they do? Let’s get to that now.


Dental Probiotics

Dental probiotics allow healthy bacteria in your mouth & sinuses to crowd out bad bacteria. This improves your body’s ability to fight decay, disease, & infection. If you’re like me, you’re probably more familiar with probiotics for gut health. Right?

Through Smile Brilliant, I’ve learned they can also be very beneficial in dental & skin care as well. The dental probiotics we’re using produce an environment in our mouths for good bacteria to thrive. This, in turn, reduces the possibilities for cavities, gum inflammation, plaque, tartar, & bad breath. An additional benefit of this dental health is the protection our ears, noses, throats, & overall immune systems also receive. (See this infographic)

I think having to worry less about viruses & ear/sinus infections is something to celebrate!

So how do they taste? Surprisingly okay. There’s a hint of a sweet flavor to the kid’s probiotics that my youngest appreciates. She has no problem chewing and swallowing them right before bed.


The plaque highlighters contain an oral dye that shows you where plaque is collecting. This lets you know what areas need a bit more attention while brushing. Although plaque is natural & we all have it, too much is bad news for teeth. No one wants to deal with decay, gum disease, gingivitis, etc.

As for the taste… my daughters weren’t especially fond of it on the first try. However, after chewing them (no swallowing!) & seeing the areas they need to brush, they were fascinated. Now the taste doesn’t bother them. There’s nothing like squeaky clean teeth.


Here’s a bit of info in case you need a reminder about the cariPRO toothbrush or maybe haven’t heard of it. The “vibration” of it works to naturally remove surface stains & whiten your teeth. It removes 7 times more plaque than manual brushing and improves your overall gum health within two weeks.

I’ll always be a cheerleader for this toothbrush but for a full review, remember to check out my original post. Each product I’ve mentioned here comes with clear, easy-to-follow instructions. So that’s one worry you can dismiss.
