Stem Cells In Baby Teeth

Very few people know that in addition to the umbilical cord and bone marrow, baby teeth are also rich in stem cells. Stem cells taken from baby teeth are different from those taken from the umbilical cord.

This discovery was revealed in 2003, when a researcher from the National Institutes of Health  confirmed the existence of stem cells in the teeth covered by dentin on baby teeth.

The benefits of using stem cells to treat various aspects of human health have been widespread over the last few years. We will use all stem cells to regenerate tissues, and appear fresher and younger.

The best thing about stem cells is that they  have the ability to multiply and differentiate to form more cells  that can regenerate a wide variety of tissues and organs.

Fantastic cells

The cells from baby teeth  are called mesenchymal and have the ability to regenerate numerous new organs and other parts of our anatomy.

They can regain bones, muscles, body fat, cartilage, heart and even nerve cells in the brain. In this way, stem cells have an incredible regenerative potential.

Mesenchymal cells can be extracted from children’s teeth (or from adult wisdom teeth), and they  can treat certain heart diseases,  as well as:

• Parkinsons
• Alzheimer’s
• Diabetes
• Paralysis due to spinal cord injuries

Reproduction of bone, cartilage and other tissues

IMPORTANT

Stem cells in the teeth can be used to treat diseases from a first or second degree relative to the patient: siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.

Where are stem cells preserved?

These cells (found in the soft inner part of the baby teeth) are there to regenerate the living part of the tooth. They are generally seen around the age of six and fall out naturally between the ages of six and twelve.

These teeth should be maintained in a specialized laboratory.

If the tooth falls out at home or elsewhere…

If the tooth falls out at home or anywhere other than at the dentist,  immediately put it in a glass of milk and put it in the refrigerator. If you do, it is very likely that the stem cells can be preserved successfully.

The first 48 hours after the tooth has come out are critical. The tooth must be packed, sent and received by the laboratory during this time, to successfully isolate the cells.

American dentists recommend pulling baby teeth out before they even fall out. They advise parents to make the decision to professionally preserve their teeth before they fall out.

Aside from practice in the United States, many dentists do not recommend  that baby teeth be pulled out unnaturally. The reasons for this are:

Keep these baby teeth safe!

If you are interested in saving your baby’s baby teeth for the future,  specialists recommend discussing this with a stem cell bank of your choice.

They will provide you with a bio-kit with everything you need to store the tooth safely until you give it to the laboratory staff.

In fact, wisdom teeth also have a large amount of this type of cells that have been shown to be able to regenerate damaged corneas.

Traditionally,  many mothers around the world have saved their children’s baby teeth.

Have you ever seen a box with whole baby teeth in it? You may not see them the same way in the future.

This tradition may begin to change. Instead of storing baby teeth in a box, mothers can start storing them in a stem cell bank where they can be stored in laboratories.

They will be there, if necessary, to fight disease or get organs back into the body.
