Dyson launches pricey toothbrush with built-in camera

Dyson has released a 490-euro toothbrush equipped with a macro camera that allows users to monitor their oral hygiene via a mobile app. The device features an automatic mouthwash delivery system that targets gaps between teeth to remove plaque during brushing.

Dyson has unveiled a high-tech toothbrush featuring a 100,000-pixel macro lens camera and an integrated mouthwash reservoir. Developed over six years by a team of 661 engineers, the device retails for approximately 490 euros and aims to provide users with a professional-grade dental cleaning experience at home.

The toothbrush uses its internal camera to detect gaps between teeth, automatically spraying mouthwash from a nozzle to remove plaque during the brushing process. Users can view live footage through the MyDyson app, which also offers feedback on their cleaning habits. While the device promises advanced cleaning capabilities like stain removal and gum line care, dental experts note that traditional methods such as flossing and tongue cleaning remain essential components of daily oral hygiene for those seeking alternatives to high-end technology.
