Smile Brilliant cariPRO dental probiotics – review

Whether your personal business card is a polished mani, a groomed face or a bright smile, a healthy smile should always be your priority with top-notch oral care. Maybe you’re ticking every box from flossing to regular appointments with your dentist but you can go an extra mile with probiotics like Smile Brilliant cariPRO. Yes, probiotics for your mouth and teeth…

Good bacteria play a big role in our gut health, but fewer know they can do a lot for our smiles. Smile Brilliant shows what cariPRO dental probiotics can do.

Smile Brilliant cariPRO dental probiotics: product and packaging

cariPRO is a healthy dietary supplement for your mouth and upper body immune system by Smile Brilliant. A jar with a one-month supply of supplements ($24) in the form of chewable tables gives you a little help to support and rebuilt a balanced microbiome in your mouth. One tablet a night, after brushing your teeth, is all you need to do with cariPRO.

Formula

These oral supplements have a vegan-friendly, GMO, gluten and sugar-free formula enriched with a blend of probiotics (lactobacillus paracasei, lacotbacillus plantarum, lactobacillus rhamnosus and streptococcus salivarious). These dental probiotics work overnight without causing you a sugar rush or making you more hungry. Stevia leaves extract and natural cherry & pomegranate flavour gives a juicy, authentic taste. The same protection is offered to the youngest ones with the formula of the Dental Probiotics for Kids plus a berry taste.

How to…

After brushing your teeth (and after using your favourite mouthwash, if you do), take one tablet before going to bed. You can chew them but I suggest you let them dissolve slowly so that the probiotics, the good in these supplements, stay longer in your mouth. Enjoy the taste and fall asleep.

About Smile Brilliant… more than whitening products

If you think Smile Brilliant is all about brighter, healthier smiles you aren’t wrong! In fact, this American company made itself popular thanks to its star products: at-home whitening custom trays and whitening gels. However, the brand has expanded to embrace a bigger approach to oral care for the whole family. Cordless water flossers and electric toothbrushes are the brand’s easy devices to help you cleanse your smile as your dentist recommends; its custom night guards will help you preserve a healthy smile overnight from grinding, while its plaque highlighters for adults and kids. This is a fun, educational idea to show how to improve your brushing technique. These safe dental highlighters temporary dye the areas where plaque is sneaking into your mouth so you know where to focus your brushwork. Although Smile Brilliant’s custom trays and whitening kits are still a must, its catalogue is now for everyone, the older and younger of the family.

My experience with Smile Brilliant

If you’ve been on this website for while (thank you for your love), the name “Smile Brilliant” will ring a bell. When I started uni and I lived on instant coffee, I gave Smile Brilliant’s custom-fitted whitening system a try. My smile certainly isn’t perfect but I achieved a whiter smile with zero effort, in the “comfort” of my student room. I took my own impressions with ease – something that scared me a lot. The result was impressive: brilliant like switching a lightbulb in a dull room! You can read my full experience online…

Back to cariPRO: what are probiotics? what do good bacteria in your mouth?

Probiotics are living microorganisms that can support the health of the guest who takes them. Some of these microorganisms are very familiar, such as the family of lactobacillus we can find in many yoghurt and healthy drinks. These bacteria have an important role in helping vital functions (such as a healthy gut) and they could even play as cold immune support. These days, many skincare products are made to support our skin microbiome!

Like our skin, our mouth is populated by both good and bad bacteria: a balanced environment means good health. When bad bacteria prevail, our oral health shows signs ranging from bad breath and plaques to gum irritation and decay. Probiotic supplements repopulate your mouth with good bacteria which will keep away the bad ones. The studies supporting this product development say that with time and constant use, more good bacteria translate into fresher breath, healthier teeth and a protected upper respiratory system, including your ears.

My two cents: review

In my previous review, I mentioned how my teeth weren’t the healthiest anymore. With a total of 4 reconstructed teeth, I know my smile won’t be the same. The idea of decay is a frightening nightmare, so when I brush my teeth I do it compulsively. Trying Smile Brilliant cariPRO was a good occasion to upgrade my oral care.
First of all, cariPRO is a nice way to finish the day. It feels like a tasty treat without the guilt. These supplements have a naturally sweet taste; although it feels sweet to me, the flavour isn’t overpowering and not artificial at all. The fruity taste is actually delicious and it reminds me more of dark cherry rather than pomegranate and berry. It’s still a berry after all. I don’t chew them but suck them and let them dissolve.

I could feel the first signs after one week when I woke up with a fresher and lighter breath. Other positive signs followed in the next three weeks with less sensitiveness to sweet and temperature changes. These changes are small but they suggest something good is happening. I might guess that continuous use will improve my oral health and strengthen my resistance to hot-cold shocks.
