Dental stem cell preservation is the perfect way for investing in future and securing the health of our loved ones. Stem cells are the future for therapeutic and regenerative medicine.”
Dental stem cells preservation involves collection of stem cells from the dental pulp, which is the soft living tissue inside a tooth. These stem cells are found in both, baby teeth (milk teeth of children in the age group of five to 12 years) and permanent teeth of young adults ideally below 30 years of age. The cells can also be found in premolars of teenagers wearing braces. The quantity and quality of dental stem cells decrease with age and therefore, the younger the age of the person- the better the stem cells.
The collected stem cells can be used repair and cure ’tissue and organ related diseases’ such as bone, cartilage, liver, diabetes, arthritis and many more. These stem cells are preserved in cryogenic tanks at a temperature below minus 150 degrees. These dental stem cells have the potential to be used for treating many diseases. This eliminates the need to find a suitable donor and associated complications.
Dental pulp stem cells are plentiful and easy to collect. Unlike other modes of getting stem cells, these stem cells are easy to collect as children lose their milk teeth as a part of growing up. These children can give one of their ‘about to fall’ milk teeth for securing their future. This is a painless process and takes less than 10 minutes to complete the tooth collection. Adults can also benefit if they are getting their premolar or wisdom tooth removed.
