Dyson Launches An AI Toothbrush With Built-In Camera & Water Jet: Netizens React
Dyson has moved from vacuum cleaners and hairdryers into an unlikely new category: your mouth.

Dyson has introduced its CameraJet toothbrush, a $499 smart toothbrush with a built-in camera and AI technology. The device is designed to combine brushing, flossing, and mouth rinsing into a single step by targeting plaque in interdental gaps. The brush head features a stiffer central bristle set for surface stains and a softer outer ring for gumline cleaning, while an embedded RFID chip tracks cleaning cycles and signals when the brush head needs replacement.
The 100,000-pixel macro lens captures 28 images per second, feeding a machine-learning model trained on 470,000 dental images. Lab testing indicates the CameraJet removes up to 69% more plaque than leading electric toothbrushes in hard-to-reach areas, though this figure is based on Dyson's own testing with a synthetic plaque stand-in.
The device connects to the MyDyson app, providing real-time camera feed, cleaning guidance, and a map of brushed areas. Not everyone is convinced by the launch, with some social media users questioning the necessity of the expensive toothbrush.
