However teeth can actually be a rich source of stem cells. Deciduous teeth or the so-called milk teeth and wisdom teeth have an abundance of stem cells. Dental stem cells can generate many types of tissues including bone, nerve, cartilage, teeth and fat.
At “Store Your Cells” stem cells are harvested from teeth that are about to fall off or extracted. Therefore there is no extra effort involved for patients.
