Comment on Dyson CameraJet: The only toothbrush with a camera and a jet

Comments

The press release includes an image of a person brushing and looking at an image of their teeth on a phone. If you are actively brushing with toothpaste, the quality of the image will likely be as good as an unprepped colonoscopy.

It’s unlikely to yield any actionable information, other than scratching the pimple-popping gross-up itch.

On second thought, I am now half-expecting a home colonics device from Dyson. Easy setup… just lay down on your side in your bathtub.

unprepped colonoscopy

That is a phrase I didn't have on my HN bingo card for the day.

That’s why they developed a special toothpaste with less foaming (see the presentation video on youtube)

Plot twist: you can use the same device for mouth and colon cleaning.

    > This includes a proprietary non-foaming toothpaste, formulated without SLS (a common foaming agent)
    to help keep foam out of the way so the camera can see clearly and support Gap Optical Targeting™,
    alongside a low-foaming mouthrinse formulated for use with the precision jet
