I use a small fret file, flat on one narrow edge, as Dan Erlewhine does, gently file the fret ends with a 'round and over' motion. Do this to both sides of the fret and both ends, then carefully polish with steel wool using a masking tool to avoid touching the fretboard.

A triangle file with ground flat edge (aka fret dressing file) to dress the ends if it's really bad.
In certain situations I then use 400g wet and dry over a firm, but not solid, sanding block, up and down the neck. If the fret ends tear the paper go back to the file. Work up the grits. This works well on unlacquered boards where a slight round over is desirable.
@FelineGuitars did a vid that shows the motion you need with the fret dressing file. The video is much better than trying to describe it.

It's a rosewood board. No binding.
