Dyson is moving into oral care with the CameraJet, a $799 electric toothbrush that combines sonic brushing, automated water flossing and an integrated camera. It might sound like classic Dyson over-engineering, but there’s a fairly practical idea behind it: instead of brushing and flossing separately, CameraJet tries to do both at once.
- ◆100,000-pixel camera with real-time gap detection
- ◆Automatic precision water flossing while brushing
- ◆Variable Sonic Oscillation to reduce bristle stalling
- ◆12.5ml integrated mouthrinse tank with three-second dock refills
- ◆RFID-equipped replaceable brush heads
- ◆MyDyson app with live view and cleaning feedback
The toothbrush has been in development for six years, with 661 engineers involved. It runs on 16 million lines of code, while its machine-learning system was developed using more than 470,000 dental images.
The Hardware: It can actually see between your teeth
The standout hardware is a 100,000-pixel macro camera that captures 28 images per second.
Dyson’s Gap Optical Targeting system uses those images to identify spaces between your teeth. When it spots one, CameraJet can automatically fire a small burst of mouth rinse into the gap within 100 milliseconds.
Rather than the narrow stream used by many water flossers, Dyson uses a wider conical jet designed to sweep across the gap. The mouth rinse comes from a 12.5ml tank built into the toothbrush. A diaphragm pump keeps it working regardless of how you’re holding the brush, including horizontally when reaching your back teeth.
CameraJet uses Dyson’s Variable Sonic Oscillation, which changes the angle of movement to help prevent bristles from stalling when pressed against your teeth. The brush head combines firmer inner bristles with softer outer bristles for the gum line. Each head also contains an RFID tag, allowing CameraJet to track its usage and tell you when it’s time for a replacement.
The charging dock doubles as a refill station, replenishing the mouth rinse tank in around three seconds. That’s potentially one of the more important design choices here. Combining brushing and flossing isn’t much of a convenience if you’re constantly filling a tiny tank manually.
Yes, There’s an App
CameraJet connects to the MyDyson app over Bluetooth and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
You can view the camera feed live on your phone, but the more useful features are likely to be guided cleaning and coverage mapping. The app can show where you’ve cleaned effectively, highlight areas you’re missing and provide feedback on your technique.
You can also adjust brushing intensity and switch between automatic and manually triggered water flossing. And because putting a Wi-Fi-connected camera in your mouth raises questions: Dyson says images aren’t recorded, stored on the toothbrush or uploaded to the cloud.
Pricing and Availability
The Dyson CameraJet Dental System launches in Australia at 9:00pm on 1 September 2026 for $799.
That includes the toothbrush, charging/refill dock, travel case and starter supplies of Dyson toothpaste and mouth rinse. It’ll will be available in Ceramic Ultra Blue and Ceramic Pink.
Conclusion
A camera, Wi-Fi and 16 million lines of code sound excessive for a toothbrush, but CameraJet’s core idea is much simpler: make flossing part of brushing rather than another job you have to remember to do.
The automatic water jet, camera-based gap detection and quick-refill dock are the pieces that could make a genuine difference to the experience. The app feels more like a useful companion than the main attraction.
The sticking point is that $799 price. CameraJet has plenty of clever hardware, but it’ll need to make the daily routine noticeably easier to justify costing several times more than other options.
