Overview
of Dental Stem Cell Banking
Cell
preservation technology makes it possible for you to save your
valuable stem cells for the day, possibly years in the future,
when you may need them. Rather than discarding these cells and
hoping that another source will be available in the future, you
can set your own cells aside, knowing that you can call upon them
if and when they are needed.
Stem
cell banking has existed for years – hundreds of thousands
of families have taken advantage of their opportunity to preserve
stem cells for their children, by banking umbilical cord blood.
Now, with the discovery of stem cells in baby teeth and wisdom
teeth, a second chance is available for those families who missed
their opportunity to store cord blood, as well as a chance to
add a new type of stem cells for those families who did.
Banking
your stem cells is simple – instead of throwing your tooth
away, your dentist will send it to our laboratory, where the tooth
will be processed and the stem cells safely frozen. If you ever
need them, all you have to do is notify us and we will ship them wherever you need.
