Why Everyone Should Keep Their Baby Teeth

Do you remember your first baby tooth falling out? That initial fear and shock of holding your bloody tooth in the palm of your little hand. But we were properly rewarded for our suffering with a nice gift from the Tooth Fairy! Some parents like to hold onto their kid’s baby teeth as a keepsake. And while this may seem kinda weird, scientists actually recommend doing so! In this video, you’ll find exactly why that is.

SUMMARY:
– The scientific community recommends keeping baby teeth that have fallen out in order to get dental stem cells out of them later.
– Our body is built out of these cells the same way a house is constructed out of bricks. Scientists made an extraordinary effort of counting each cell in the human body, and they’ve found out that it’s about 37 trillion!
– The dental stem cell bank StemSave says you can still harvest stem cells not only from your milk teeth but from permanent ones, like wisdom teeth, too! As long as it has a healthy pulp and complete root, it’s fair game!
– They can turn into skin, muscle, and even brain cells! They can also be used to restore damaged organs. And unlike an organ transplant, there’s no risk that your body will reject your own stem cells. An example of tissue or organ regeneration with the help of stem cells is skin grafting, which can save burn victims.
– Dental stem cells can be utilized for several medical purposes as well. Doctors from the University General Hospital of Valencia discovered that dental pulp stem cells can improve heart function and repair tissue damage after major heart attacks.
– Try to boost your child’s creativity with their own fallen teeth. (Yeah, we’re not straying from the topic here!) You can keep your kid’s teeth for them to use in science projects. Every future genius needs to start somewhere! Experiment together with the influence that coffee, sugar, or soda has on the color and density of the tooth.
