teeth? losing a tooth is a big milestone, but it can also be a lifesaver. while most parents are familiar with the concept of banking their baby?s cord blood for the benefit of the stem cells contained in it, there?s also another method used to access stem cells from your child? through his baby teeth. a study from the national institute of dental and craniofacial research discovered that baby teeth contain one to two dozen valuable stem cells, which can be used to treat a variety of diseases. the stem cells are found inside the dental pulp within a tooth, and there are several services available that will store baby teeth for a fee. some services will even provide parents with all the packaging and shipping supplies needed so they can store their children?s life-saving baby teeth themselves. ? toothbank.com
