StemSave™
Ashburn Children’s Dentistry is committed to providing the most current technology and state of the art care for our children. Our relationship with StemSave is an example of this continued commitment.
The doctors at our office now have the ability to help preserve stem cells from healthy dental pulp. This is great news for the families that did not save cord blood/placental stem cells when their child was born. Healthy dental pulp contains stem cells that replicate at a faster rate and for longer period of time than other types of stem cells. Aside from being the most convenient stem cells to access, they have shown great promise for future regenerative medical treatments of neurodegenerative diseases, heart disease, diabetes, bone disease, as well as brain and nerve injuries. Additionally, using one’s own stem cells means lower risk of rejection and need for powerful drugs that weaken the immune system. These stem cells are also available for family members if the need arises in the future.
During your child’s next visit, ask your Dentist if you child’s teeth are candidates for cryopreservation! Then visit StemSave.com for more information and preservation pricing options when extraction treatment is planned for your child.
