We are the only company in the world to offer the service of harvesting and preserving stem cells from baby teeth. The public response to our service has been fantastic. Our service is completely new, completely unique, and has broad market appeal.
Bioeden, Inc. is proud to be the first company in the world to offer parents the opportunity to preserve potentially life-saving stem cells that would otherwise be thrown away.
In 2003, Dr. Songtao Shi, a pediatric dentist at the NIH, discovered that discarded baby teeth are an excellent new source of stem cells. Stem cell research is the most promising path to curing many severe diseases and disabling medical conditions. It may yield remedies for such conditions as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, juvenile diabetes, spinal cord injury, MS, ALS, and certain forms of cancer and heart disease. At Bioeden, we believe that every parent should have the opportunity make sure that their children benefit from this promising research. We have provided a convenient and affordable solution to preserving your children's tooth cells.
In 2003, Songtao Shi, a pediatric dentist at the U.S. National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, discovered the untapped resources of baby tooth stem cells. These stem cells grow robustly in a laboratory setting and appear to have therapeutic value. According to Dr. Shi, baby teeth stored for 48 hours at 40°F have viable stem cells which can be retrieved and preserved. Cryogenic preservation ensures they will be available for future therapeutic treatment.
Baby teeth are the teeth that fall out of a child’s mouth usually between the ages of 5–13 years, and are a rich source of genetically unique stem cells. Parents have routinely discarded these deciduous teeth. Now, with the help of BioEden Baby Teeth Cell Bank, these teeth can be saved for potential medical uses. Following simple storage and shipping instructions, parents can preserve these valuable cells. These stored cells can potentially provide a multitude of therapeutic uses, thus acting as “biological insurance” for families.
Stem cells are the body’s “master cells.” They are able to differentiate, or change, into other types of cells to create tissues, organs, and systems in the body. This ability means stem cell therapy holds tremendous promise for doing everything from repairing damaged teeth, to alleviating spinal cord injuries, to curing common diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancers, stroke, and Alzheimer’s.
Next: Why should you save baby teeth?
There are many types of stem cell therapy and it is becoming a common treatment for some conditions. Stem cell therapy has been used successfully over 700 times in the U.S. over the last 10 years and it has been used many more times in other countries around the world. It is believed that stem cell therapy may eventually offer remedies for such conditions as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, juvenile diabetes, spinal cord injury, MS, ALS, and certain forms of cancer and heart disease.
Researchers have found the pulp of some children's primary teeth to contain chondrocytes, osteoblasts, adipocytes, and mesenchymal stem cells. All of these cell types hold enormous potential for the therapeutic treatment of new diseases currently not on the list shown above. Some of the potential applications of this material would be to treat; neuronal degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrigs Disease); chronic heart conditions such as congestive heart failure and chronic ischemic heart disease; periodontal disease and to grow replacement teeth and bone. One of the most important potential applications using this material is for the treatment of paralysis due to spinal cord injury which has already been done using mesenchymal stem cells from other sources. The application of stem cell therapy to these diseases is currently being pursued by many of the brightest minds at the best institutions around the world and it is our belief that these treatments are on the horizon.
Storing these cells for your child is an excellent way to ensure your child's future biological needs can be met. We urge you to take advantage of this opportunity and store your child's cells today
Storing baby teeth stem cells provides a unique type of insurance, not only for the child, but also for the entire family. Tooth stem cells can potentially be used to treat conditions in first or second degree blood relatives (siblings, parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts) in addition to the donor. Tooth stem cells are markedly different from other types of stem cells. Recent studies show that baby teeth stem cells appear to have the ability to develop into more types of body tissue than other types of stem cells. This difference opens the door to more therapeutic applications.
The stem cells in baby teeth are “less developed” than other types of stem cells. This gives them greater potential as a suitable match for other family members should the need arise. Studies show cell survival rates double when a patient receives a stem cell transplant from a relative.
A primary consideration in the use of stem cell storage is the cost. The methods used for extracting the cells from baby teeth are up to 66% less than that of other types of cell extraction, and the savings is passed on to you.
