Now your teeth can heal you!
Did you know that even though they often have to be extracted, wisdom and primary teeth can be very valuable to you? Science now tells us that, just like the umbilical cord, wisdom and primary teeth contain stem cells, which may one day be used to treat you or members of your family.
Your umbilical cord has long since been destroyed. The extraction of your wisdom and primary teeth therefore represents a rare opportunity to collect what could, one day, make a very big difference in your life or in the life of someone you love. Don't miss it! Don't throw those teeth away, call us to book your appointment today.
Extraction of wisdom teeth
Many people will need to have their wisdom teeth removed in the course of their lives. There are many reasons for this.
Semi-included wisdom teeth (which partially protrude through the gums) can cause pain, tooth overlap and even infection. They can also cause cavities in neighboring teeth, as they are difficult to clean.
Impacted wisdom teeth (which are unable to erupt through the gum) can cause even more serious problems, such as cyst formation. They can also damage the jawbone or nerves, with long-term repercussions on the health and comfort of your mouth.
What's the procedure?
When we extract your wisdom or primary teeth, we can collect the stem cells they contain and deposit them in a human tissue bank. In some cases, we can recover up to 2 million stem cells from certain teeth.
The prospect of preserving them to one day treat diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis is revolutionary and of great value to our patients.
