Let’s face it, teeth aren’t sexy.
No one gets excited to visit their dentist; in fact, a good amount of people detest their biannual visits. And nobody posts selfies of themselves flossing. Not only is it a non-event, it’s… pretty daggy.
In recent years, however, this stigma seems to be shifting a little, with the likes of Miranda Kerr revealing that she loves brushing her teeth—her exact words being, “I’m obsessed with dental care!”—and a rise in accessible and affordable teeth whitening services.
And while not everyone shares the same sentiment (yet), a chic, display-worthy dental accessory or lunchtime treatment might be just the thing to make brightening your pearly whites that little bit more luxurious.

BLAQ Charcoal Teeth Whitening Wand, $31 at Revolve
Purse-friendly and ultra sleek, this ‘whitening’ wand works to quickly lift surface stains and impurities with an activated charcoal and coconut oil formula.
