Dyson makes AI toothbrush with camera, internet is going gaga over it

Dyson has now entered the oral care market with the CameraJet, a $499 electric toothbrush that comes with a built-in camera, AI and a targeted liquid jet to clean between your teeth as you brush.

In Short

• The toothbrush streams live mouth images to the MyDyson app
• AI scans 28 frames each second to detect tooth gaps
• A conical jet releases mouthrinse within 100 milliseconds of detection

Dyson on Tuesday launched a new product. It’s a cleaning product, but it’s not another Dyson vacuum. It’s a toothbrush. Yes, in 2026, when we are seeing more and more things getting AI-powered, Dyson has decided to bring AI to the toothbrush. And not just AI — this toothbrush also has a camera, so you can get a clear view of your teeth. Sounds techie, sounds fun. But all of that comes at a whopping price of $499, which is around Rs 42,000.

The new Dyson CameraJet electric toothbrush comes with a built-in camera, AI-powered gap detection and a precision liquid jet that promises to clean and show you the area between your teeth while you brush. The device is available in select markets and comes in two colour options: Ceramic Ultra Blue and Ceramic Pink.

And yes, people online are clearly having a moment with this one. A toothbrush with a camera and AI is not exactly something you see every day, and the idea of being able to actually see what is happening between your teeth while brushing has left people fascinated, amused and a little surprised.

Inside Dyson’s AI camera toothbrush

While the internet is still trying to digest this rather unusual toothbrush, let’s take a look at what this camera-equipped toothbrush actually does.

The obvious highlight is the camera sitting inside the brush head. Dyson says the CameraJet uses a 100,000-pixel macro lens camera along with its Gap Optical Targeting system to spot the spaces between your teeth. It scans 28 images every second, looking for gaps in real time. Once it detects one, it can fire a targeted burst of mouthrinse at it in as little as 100 milliseconds.

So, rather than spraying mouthrinse everywhere, the idea according to the company is that the toothbrush figures out where it needs to go and sends the jet there while you keep brushing.

And the camera isn't just there for the AI. It can also give you a live view of your mouth through the MyDyson app, almost like having a tiny dental camera inside your toothbrush. Dyson says the camera only switches on during live viewing or when auto-jetting is active, and that images are not stored on the toothbrush or in the cloud.

There’s plenty happening under the hood too. Dyson says the CameraJet took six years to develop, involved 661 engineers and uses 16 million lines of code. Its machine-learning system was trained on more than 470,000 dental images.

For the actual cleaning, this electric toothbrush uses what company calls a conical jet instead of the narrow jet found in traditional water flossers. The company says it is designed to cover a wider area while using lower pressure. There’s also a 12.5ml mouthrinse tank, a dual-bristle head and variable sonic oscillation designed to keep the bristles moving rather than stalling against your teeth.

Basically, it’s a toothbrush, water flosser and tiny mouth camera rolled into one.
