Parents Can Save Their Child’s Baby Teeth for Stem Cells

Your child could be desperately in need for stem cells in the future. Rather than wait for a bone marrow donor, you can ensure that their baby teeth are preserved to provide the much-needed cells.

Key takeaways:

– Baby teeth have valuable and powerful stem cells that transform into any type of cell in the body.

– Having baby teeth stored in a tooth bank eliminates the need to wait for a bone marrow donor and increases the likelihood of acceptance of the tooth derived stem cells.

– There are a number of services that your dentist can recommend to cryopreserve stem cell from baby teeth at a fee.

As stem cells age, they become less powerful. If your child needs stem cells as an adult, the teeth that currently live in their mouth will no longer be very useful.
