Dyson’s first toothbrush uses a camera and AI to brush and floss at the same time

Dyson has entered oral care with the CameraJet, a $499 electric toothbrush that combines brushing, interdental cleaning, and rinsing in one device.

Its standout feature is a tiny camera beneath the brush head that identifies the gaps between your teeth as you brush. Once it detects one, the CameraJet automatically releases a targeted burst of mouth rinse to clean the area.

How the CameraJet works

The toothbrush’s 100,000-pixel macro camera captures 28 images per second, which Dyson’s machine-learning system processes to locate each interdental gap. A conical jet then directs up to 0.15 milliliters of liquid into the space in as little as one-tenth of a second.

Unlike water flossers that continuously spray liquid, the CameraJet only fires when it identifies a gap. Its built-in reservoir is refilled from the docking station before each use, while an “anti-gravity” tank allows the jet to work when the brush is held at different angles.

The Dyson AI toothbrush features a built-in camera and jet flosser.

The brush head uses softer outer bristles along the gumline and firmer inner bristles to clean the surface of the teeth. Users can choose between brushing with the automatic jet, brushing alone, or using the jet separately, along with three brushing intensities.

Through the MyDyson app, users can watch a live view from inside their mouth, check which areas they covered, and receive feedback on their technique. Dyson says images are deleted immediately after viewing and are not stored or shared.

Dyson brings smart technology to oral care

Oral care continues to becom a bigger part of the whole-body health conversation, as health technology moves into the home. At-home tests are giving people more insight into what is happening in their mouths, while better design is making the category feel more like beauty and less like basic hygiene.

The CameraJet goes even further than tracking. It uses what it sees to clean between the teeth in real time.

Dyson calls the feature “precision-flossing,” although it works more like a powered interdental cleaner than string floss. Water flossers can support plaque removal alongside brushing, but the right method depends on the person and the spaces between their teeth.

Dyson says the CameraJet removes up to 69% more plaque than a market-leading electric toothbrush, based on its own lab testing. The bigger question is whether combining several steps into one device will make consistent interdental cleaning easier to stick with.
