Dyson made a camera-equipped toothbrush that flosses for you
The Verge Andrew Liszewski
Dyson made a $499 toothbrush with a camera in the head. It can stream inside your mouth and blast gaps with mouthwash, so it’s trying to replace floss too.

Dyson is pushing further into personal care with a product that sounds half gadget, half dental dare. The CameraJet is its first electric toothbrush with a camera built into the brush head, and it goes on sale today in ceramic blue or ceramic pink for $499.
The camera isn’t just there for show. It can livestream video to a phone over Wi‑Fi, letting you look around inside your mouth while you brush. That alone is a pretty wild pitch for a toothbrush, and Dyson is pairing it with something even stranger: an AI system that identifies the spaces between teeth and hits them with mouthwash.
In Dyson’s telling, this means the CameraJet is doing flossing work at the same time as brushing. That’s the hook here. Not a smarter toothbrush in the abstract, but one that tries to bundle two chores into one very expensive device.
Dyson has spent years wandering far from its vacuum roots, and this is another step in that direction. Hair, air, teeth. The company seems determined to own the whole personal-care counter, even if the latest entry is a toothbrush that acts like it belongs in a dental lab.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
Dyson keeps proving that closed ecosystems aren’t just for phones; now they’re for your gums too. A toothbrush with a camera is exactly the kind of shiny overreach that tech companies love, because it turns a boring routine into a premium subscription-free spectacle. Useful? Maybe. Slightly absurd? Very much so.
