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.

Is my personal information kept confidential?
Yes. Store-A-Tooth maintains strict confidentiality of all information.
There are two pricing options for Store-A-Tooth.
- The Store-A-Tooth service is $649 for tooth collection and processing. In addition it is $120 per year to keep the tissue cryopreserved.
- We also offer a 20-year plan for a one-time fee of $2399. The benefits of this plan include:
- The ability to preserve an additional collection of dental stem cells (either from the same child or a different family member) for no additional charge.
- A savings of over 20%
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.
Is there anything special I need to tell my dentist?
Ask your dentist if he or she offers Store-A-Tooth. If not, please email Store-A-Tooth at info@store-a-tooth.com or call us toll-free at 1-877-867-5753 or ask your dentist to contact us and we will work with your dentist to provide all needed materials and instructions.
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.
