When should I enroll?
Store-A-Tooth only accepts teeth that are professionally removed or extracted by a dentist and promptly placed into our tooth transportation device. We recommend enrolling well in advance of when the tooth is scheduled for removal.

How much does it cost?
Other stem cell banking services often charge $1800 to start and $125 a year. Store-A-Tooth is different. The total fee to start is only $699, which includes the first year of storage. To maintain your cells in their cryopreserved state, every year we charge $120. You can save $600 with the 20-year plan which is $2379.

Does insurance cover this service?
Not yet, to our knowledge. However, for other stem cells such as umbilical cord stem cells, some insurers and state Medicaid programs increasingly cover cord blood banking if a close family member needs it. By analogy, as the field develops, we anticipate more insurers may cover dental stem cell banking, regardless of family medical history.

Will my dentist know how to collect the cells?
Many dental offices are equipped and trained to provide Store-A-Tooth. The procedure for collecting teeth for stem cell storage is something all dentists can currently do. However, dentists not currently working with Store-A-Tooth should be contacted in advance of your arrival. If your dentist is not currently equipped to provide Store-A-Tooth, please contact us at info@store-a-tooth.com or call us toll free at 1-877-867-5753 and we will coordinate with them.
