Store-A-Tooth...Stem Cells For Life...What's It All About?
LEXINGTON, MA, December 02, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dental stem cell preservation?! Now that we have your attention...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. What is the difference between dental stem cells and cord blood stem cells? Dental stem cells are complementary to stem cells from cord blood. While cord blood stem cells have proven valuable in the regeneration of blood cell types, dental stem cells are able to regenerate solid tissue types that cord blood cannot — and have the potential of repairing connective tissues, dental tissues, neural tissue, bone, and more.
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.
Dr. Steven Kuhn remarks, "I decided to offer stem cell banking as an option to my patients because I treat every child in my practice like they were my own, and I would do this for my kids. I feel that there is a tremendous and priceless value contained in stem cells and the future promise that they hold. We tried unsuccessfully to bank cord blood from my oldest two children when it was still a fairly new process, and regret that it didn't work out to this day. I believe in the future of science and technology, and I know that if a mind is put to it, stem cells can be a way to restore and repair humans in the future that provides a way to restore our health instead of trying to maintain a level of decreasing health with medications and surgical procedures (i.e., diabetes). I understand that there is no cure today, and I understand that the embryonic stem cells are controversial. I believe that stem cells, whether located in dental pulpal tissue or in fat cells or other parts of the body will be the way we "cure" or correct human problems in the future."
A customer of the program, Katie Wegener, states that "I decided to take advantage of dental stem cell banking because my daughter had been diagnosed with cancer when she was four years old and lost a kidney. I felt it would be a good investment as it could have the potential to be of benefit one day. I chose Store-A-Tooth because it was recommended to me by Dr. Jesse Whitkoff, who is an extremely well respected pediatric dentist in the Denver area."
