Precious Tooth service

What Is The Precious Tooth Service?

The dental pulp contained within all teeth is a rich source of unique stem cells that have the ability to regenerate and develop into many different kinds of cells, with the potential to treat future illness or injury without rejection.

All baby teeth fall out, often healthy teeth are removed for orthodontic reasons or wisdom teeth extracted. These occasions offer an ideal opportunity to collect, process and store your own, or your child’s, stem cells simply, safely and routinely. Baby teeth that fall out naturally have a reduced chance of yielding viable stem cells, which is why you would visit your dentist who can painlessly remove your child’s loose tooth, preserving its vital stem cells.

Your Cells For Your Future

The future of medicine using stem cells treatment looks bright. Adult stem cells hold the potential to dramatically change how a wide range of high-prevalence, life threatening diseases are treated.

By choosing to bank your, or your child’s, stem cells now, you are ensuring that they will always be there to safeguard your future as treatment becomes available for a growing number of diseases such as cancers, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and many more.

The Stem Cell Miracle

Extensive and continuing medical research is identifying and developing amazing stem cell therapies. These are proving successful in the treatment of a wide range of diseases that have until now been considered difficult or impossible to treat. Stem cells heal and restore skin, bones, cartilage, muscles, nerves and other tissues which have become damaged through injury or disease. At this time, there are over 5,000 ongoing clinical trials of new treatments involving stem cells. These treatments could soon become available to you – but your own stem cells will be vital to the process.

Why Preserve Dental Stem Cells?

Similar to stem cells from bone marrow and umbilical cord blood, which have been used for decades to treat leukaemia and other blood related diseases, stem cells from teeth have the potential to be used in a broad range of medical applications.

Doctors have already used dental stem cells to successfully regenerate dental bone and treat periodontal disease, and researchers are studying how they could help treat a number of serious diseases and conditions:

  • Diabetes
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Muscular dystrophy
  • Stroke
  • Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
  • Liver disease
  • Cornea repair
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Alzheimer’s

How It Works

We work with you and your dentist to set up the Precious Tooth service. We provide a stem cell collection kit, which includes all the materials needed to protect and transport the tooth overnight to our lab.

Once in the lab, we collect the dental pulp from the tooth which contains your own unique stem cells, perform a number of quality control steps and provide a final report to you. You will be issued with a certificate of storage and a unique ID number. Then we keep the cells frozen at very cold temperatures until the day they are needed, when we send them directly to your healthcare provider.

My first filling for 40 years today so I was understandably a little anxious. Rami and Olivia put me at my ease and I was well looked after throughout the procedure. Experienced no pain at all and the job was completed swiftly and superbly. A well spotted early intervention by Rami at my recent regular examination that no doubt will have saved me some pain and perhaps more extensive work in the future. Thank you again!

I can’t thank Rami and the staff at Cherrybank enough for the treatment i received! From the warm welcome I got from the ladies on reception to the professional pain free treatment from Rami. I had multiple silver fillings replaced with composite fillings to make my teeth look more natural again and the results are everything I could have imagined! Thanks rami and Olivia! Great work!

Rami was incredibly reassuring and helpful, and definitely put me at ease during my visit. He explained the procedure in terms I could understand, and made sure that I was comfortable the whole way through. His assistant Olivia was also very helpful and gentle. All in all, a star team, and I would certainly come back again in the future, thanks so much for your patience and for putting me at ease.

I can not recommend this place enough. The staff are all amazing and so friendly, the help they offer for understanding and comfort just makes the experience all the better.As someone who has never liked the dentist before I can honestly say after today I dont have the same anxieties about booking further appointments or going. Their statement of pain free dentistry is true ... I had multiple drills in my mouth today and the most I felt was a bit of pressure here and there or slight vibrations. They make the appointment all about you, with amazing small added touches like massage pads, head phones and my favourite was the lip balm - such a small thing but who doesn't get dry lips at the dentist!! If you're looking for a new dentist who actually cares about and not just your teeth then give these guys a call.
