It doesn’t stop there. Once the camera finds a gap, the toothbrush automatically fires a small jet of mouthrinse into it. Yes, Dyson has basically built a toothbrush that tries to floss your teeth while you brush.
The camera actually has a job
Putting a camera inside a toothbrush sounds like one of those ideas nobody asked for. But Dyson is using it for more than just showing you the inside of your mouth.
The CameraJet has a small 100k pixel camera that scans 28 images every second. A machine learning system then looks for gaps between your teeth. When it finds one, the brush can fire a jet of mouthrinse into that area in about 100 milliseconds.
Dyson calls this Gap Optical Targeting. The system was trained using 470,000 dental images, and the company spent six years working on the CameraJet.
It flosses while you brush
Instead of the thin stream used by many water flossers, Dyson uses a cone-shaped jet. The idea is to spread the mouthrinse around the gap rather than simply firing a narrow stream through it.
I actually like the idea behind this. Flossing is something many people know they should do, but often skip. Having the toothbrush take care of part of that job while you’re already brushing makes much more sense to me than adding AI just for the sake of having AI.
Dyson isn’t claiming that CameraJet replaces normal floss completely, though. Traditional floss is still the better option if you want to clean properly between your teeth.
You can watch your teeth on your phone
Because this is a Dyson product in 2026, of course there’s an app. The CameraJet connects to the MyDyson app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, letting you watch the camera feed live while brushing.
The app can also show which areas you’ve cleaned, guide you through a brushing session and point out places you may have missed.
A Wi-Fi camera inside your mouth does raise an obvious privacy question. Dyson says images aren’t recorded or stored on the toothbrush or in the cloud. The camera only works when you’re using the live view or the automatic jet system.
The brush itself also uses two types of bristles. Firmer ones in the center are designed to help remove surface stains, while softer outer bristles clean around the gums.
But it’s still a $499 toothbrush
The CameraJet comes with a charging dock that can also refill its mouthrinse tank with the push of a button. Battery life is rated for up to 14 full cleaning sessions, and the brush is waterproof. The Dyson CameraJet is available now in Ceramic Ultra Blue and Ceramic Pink.
There’s some impressive engineering here, and the automatic flossing system is far more interesting than I expected. But $499.99 for a toothbrush is still very hard to ignore. At that price, I’d expect my dentist to send me a thank-you card too. Wouldn’t you?
