Gin and tonic toothpaste? Now that’s a reason to smile

THERE’S nothing like a G&T to cut through stress in the evening, so how about trying a gin and tonic toothpaste to give your day a boost in the morning?

Happily alcohol free, Curaprox’s Be You Challenger toothpaste, flavoured with sweet persimmon and juniper (90ml toothpaste and toothbrush, £17.99, curaprox.co.

uk), also promises to whiten your teeth and is one of several new pastes with flavours that go beyond the usual minty freshness.

If a G&T doesn’t tickle your fancy, you can try mint, coriander and cucumber flavoured paste from Buly 1803 (£24 for 75ml, net-aporter.

It’s designed to soothe mouth and throat aches, as well as keeping teeth clean.

Meanwhile, you can brush your sweet tooth with Accoutrements’ cupcake frosting flavoured toothpaste (£6.99, flamingogifts.co.uk).

It’s almost good enough to eat and provides a guilt-free way to enjoy a sweet treat. Then there are cinnamon mint and jasmine mint toothpastes from luxury Italian brand, Marvis (£7 for 85ml, lookfantastic.com).

While both fight plaque and tartar build-up, the jasmine-flavoured paste tastes just like parma violet sweets.
