welcome back.your child's baby teeth can offer a new opportunity to save stem cells. kron 4's gabe slate shows us how dental stem banking works ... and what it can offer your family.

baby teeth could be worth a lot more than just that dollar the tooth fairy leaves under the pillow. they could hold the ingrediants to one day save your child's life. dr. eric m. scharf, dds / west portal oral and facial surgery center says: "the dental stem cells are found right in the center of the tooth in what is called the pulp chamber"doctor eric scharf, with the west portal oral and facial surgery center in san francisco, says interest in dental stem banking is growing among the parents of his patients. dr. eric m. scharf, dds / west portal oral and facial surgery center says: "for people that maybe wish they had done cord blood banking at birth but did not, this is a second opportunity to bank stem cells" scientists are currently conducting clinical trials demonstrating the use of stem cells to treat diseases, heal injuries, and to grow replacement tissues..dr. eric m. scharf, dds / west portal oral and facial surgery center says:"whether it's bone tissue, nerve tissue, blood vessels that can be used to regrow a tooth that has been

lost.. or potentially be used in other medical therapies such as diabetes, alzheimer's, dementia. " to benefit from these possible medical breakthroughs expected in the next couple decades you can use a dental stem banking business like "store-a-tooth". the company provides a tooth transport kit that contains special packing supplies to mail them the teeth. in their lab they extract the stem cells from the tooth and keep the cells frozen until your child or family member needs them.nat sound - mom and kid playing soccer rachael allison from burlingame is buying into this biological insurance for her daughter alex.. rachael allison - dental stem banking for her daughter says:" i work in the pharmaceutical industry and believe very much in new medicine and technology that we don't even know is coming yet. and so if the dental stem cells that can come out of this can help her later in life for individualized health care and medicines for her and if there was ever a need and a match it could be for me too but definitely for her" this is what the american academy of pediatric dentistry had to say about this emerging trend. "while there currently are no treatments available using harvested dental stem cells in humans, the aapd recognizes that this

is an emerging science which may have application for oral healthcare." - the american academy of pediatric dentistry dr. eric m. scharf, dds / west portal oral and facial surgery center says:"i think the potential for their use in the future is pretty high considering the research that is on-going, i recommend doing the banking if it's something that is in line with your philosophy" dental stem banking on average costs $700 and there is an annual storage fee around $120. that is cheaper than cord blood banking which averages around $1,500 with a $140 yearly storage charge. stand up (burlingame soccer field) gabe slate, reporter says: "rachael knows it's not guaranteed to pay off but still thinks it's worth it" rachael allison - dental stem banking for her daughter says:"i would say think about the cost of medical bills. and if this can help save someone.. if you can afford to do it there is no reason to not" next time one of these pops out consider banking with a biotech tooth fairyit might just save a life in san francisco gabe slate kron 4 news.
