The term ‘tooth stem cells’ refers to specialist stem cells found in the soft tissue at the centre of a tooth, the dental pulp. Milk teeth that naturally fall out contain a rich source of cells, known as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This type of stem cell can repair and repair many types of tissue in the body, including muscle, nerve, bone and cartilage, to treat diseases.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Tooth stem cell banking starts with collecting a single fallen milk tooth from your child, then having the stem cells processed and stored for use in potential future treatments. All our samples are stored privately, meaning the stem cells will only be accessible to your child and/or a family member.
Mesenchymal stem cells found in teeth are currently present in many studies worldwide. These trials have identified the benefits of tooth stem cells for treating a range of illnesses such as muscular dystrophy, neurogenerative diseases and arthritis.

One of the defining characteristics of stem cells is their ability to turn into other cell types in the body, allowing the body to use these cells to repair and regenerate tissues.
This process of stem cells turning into other cell types is called differentiation.
Our in-house team of R&D scientists are conducting ongoing studies into the viability of tooth stem cells which have been in long-term cryogenic storage.
We have successfully thawed, cultured and differentiated tooth cells that were cryopreserved in 2012*. This data suggests they will behave like other stem cells that have been in long-term cryogenic storage which have successfully been used for transplant.
The work is ongoing both in-house and amongst the scientific community to demonstrate that, as with cord blood stem cells, tooth cells which have been in long-term cryogenic storage remain viable for use in transplants.
