The regenerative medicine field continues to grow. Diseases, damages, defects, and age caused degeneration has a huge hindrance in the normal functioning of the body. Stem cells are the type of cells that can become any type of healthy cell. The shift toward stem cells is a new trend in the healthcare sector.

When newly formed healthy cells are introduced into the failing tissue or organ, they facilitate healing of unhealthy cells. Stem cells also aid in the development of healthy tissues and a new organ!

Stem cell therapy is an amazing field in medicine, which gives hope for many diseases like diabetes, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and many others.

What is tooth banking?

Tooth Banking is storing of dental stem cells present within the tooth that have the ability to regenerate into various cell types. When a dentist extracts your child’s tooth, he can harvest dental stem cells from dental pulp within the tooth. Milk teeth and wisdom teeth are rich in dental stem cells. These cells within the pulp are highly valuable for regenerative stem cells. Such cells are then isolated and preserved from the dental pulp and frozen.

The Mesenchymal stem cells are found in Dental Pulp. They are pluripotent cells. The stem cells can eventually form enamel, dentin, blood vessels, dental pulp, and nervous tissues. It is recommended to get you and your loved one’s dental stem cells preserved and have a healthy and disease-free future.

Why bank teeth?
