Recently it was discovered at NIH at Bethesda, Maryland that human baby (decideous) teeth and adult teeth contain stem cells that can be used to treat a variety of diseases which may occur amongst family members.
American Dental Associates has recently teamed up with Store-A- Tooth corporation in Lexington, Massachusetts to provide cryogenic preservation of both baby and wisdom teeth for later harvesting of these vital stem cells ( which can be decades in the future). The process is relatively straight forward: teeth are extracted and placed into a preservative solution; ice packed and shipped overnight to Store-A-Tooth for processing. Patients pay a small fee annually to maintain the tissue samples. Ask our staff or call our office at 703-753-6695 for more information or visit: www.Store-A-Tooth.com.
