Diseases & Conditions

The pulp inside your child's baby tooth hold enormous potential for the therapeutic treatment of many diseases such as: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrigs Disease); chronic heart conditions such as congestive heart failure; liver disease; diabetes; spinal cord injury; periodontal disease and to grow replacement teeth and bone. 

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.  Here are just a few examples of therapies being developed:
