Storing baby teeth stem cells provides a unique type of insurance, not only for the child, but also for the entire family. Tooth stem cells can potentially be used to treat conditions in first or second degree blood relatives (siblings, parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts) in addition to the donor. Tooth stem cells are markedly different from other types of stem cells. Recent studies show that baby teeth stem cells appear to have the ability to develop into more types of body tissue than other types of stem cells. This difference opens the door to more therapeutic applications.
The stem cells in baby teeth are “less developed” than other types of stem cells. This gives them greater potential as a suitable match for other family members should the need arise. Studies show cell survival rates double when a patient receives a stem cell transplant from a relative.
A primary consideration in the use of stem cell storage is the cost. The methods used for extracting the cells from baby teeth are up to 66% less than that of other types of cell extraction, and the savings is passed on to you.
