Dyson CameraJet electric toothbrush

lol, nice to see some engineering company building outlandish product. Not everything needs mass appeal, this is not for me but maybe some one finds this interesting

The water jet ruined my teeth. I would not advise anyone to use them.

Edit: here are some anecdotes https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/d...

Edit 2: It might be that I didn’t maintain it properly and the water reservoir was building up bio film over period of time and actively distributing bacterial to my gums.

Never been less satisfied than having bought a Dyson vacuum. Cheap plastic construction

Man marketing really screwed a great engineered product.

4k resolution mouth camera?? That's why we go to a dentist every 6 months because I wouldnt know wtf im looking at.

"Oh there's that canker sore I feel. Huh, at least I can see it"

Bruh, you don't need a camera for gap detection. Just stick an IR sensor, detect change in light. Boom, $0.05.

The HN title makes it sound like Toothbrush is their brand, and with the appropriation of common terms for the sake of the brand, I bought it.

I would be disinclined to use it. It reminds me of the Astral Codex Ten Article about the Midjouney Scanner https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/preliminary-thoughts-on-the... , as well as those who've had problems with AirPods. https://discussions.apple.com/verify-human/verify.html?next=... (42 pages) What sounds the most amazing in a press release is often not the most medically sound.

Edit: it's hard to find clear info on the risks of improperly using an electric toothbrush or even on overbrushing, let alone the Dyson one, in part because a lot of search results are blogspam. Hopefully if the Dyson one is stronger, they don't use that to give it a default that is too much pressure, whether of water or moving bristles. I don't know that water pressure would cause enamel to come off. As for pressure using bristles, there is a point of pressure at which the cleaning effect stops increasing, and it is better not to go beyond that. Right now it's unclear to me whether the Dyson toothbrush works especially well or not.

This is the gold standard of how to properly apply AI to an existing product like a toothbrush, with significant engineering quality that actually makes it better.

That is what I call not "slop".
