Just What the Tooth-Fairy Ordered

Artisanal toothbrushes may sound poncy, but once you’ve given your pearlies a scrub with this Binchotan toothbrush, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better bristle.

The nylon bristles are blended with Binchotan charcoal powder that naturally freshens the mouth like a visit to the dentist. It helps get rid of plaque and bad breath, and keeps the toothbrush bacteria-free.

At $8 it's pricier than your basic, nylon bristled options but your teeth will thank-you. And so will your lovey-dove every time you lean in for a smooch. —Athena Tsavliris
