Stem Cells and Cosmetic Dentistry

I am looking forward to attending the seminar tonight entitled; Stem Cells: Emerging medical and dental therapies and the dental profession. I have been interested in the potential of stem cells for years now. In fact a number of years ago Christine Chang of Channel 7 News did a segment featuring our dental office (here's the dental stem cell video).

I am currently working with two different companies (for example, BioEden and StemSave) that help patients collect stem cells from their children and even from wisdom teeth. The thought is to preserve these cells that can have the potential to regrow certain tissues (such as dental enamel). As these sciences develop I think those who save these cells now, will have some huge opportunities to treat some of their own complex medical problems in the future. There is no better tissue match than your own, or your direct family members.

While it's yet to be seen how stem cells will help in cosmetic dentistry, any advances that help people preserve their own teeth, or provide new options to repair them, ultimately leads to a better, healthier smile.

So, I'm sure I'll have some new information for you about advances in dental care and how to use stem cells. It may be possible to collect them from you, your kids or even grandchildren. For now, the first step will be to contact my office so that we can help you collect and preserve these precious cells.

Stem cells advancements!

As you know I have an interest in the role that preserving stem cell from dental sources can have on the future of medicine.

 

I found an interesting source called "latest Stem Cell News". here's their link: http://www.stem-cells-news.com/1/

 

We are going to see some amazing breakthroughs-things that even now still smack of science fiction or medical thriller novels. 

 

For now, here's some down-to-earth things you can do: stay apprised on the developments by visiting sites like these, and you can also preserve your own family's stem cells from either baby teeth or wisdom teeth. Visit my site at www.ScottGreenhalghDDS.com to learn more.

We are leading the Denver dental community with our enrollment in two different Stem cell preservation services; one called Bioeden, and the other StemSave. Each have different purposes.

 

If you have more interest in how you can preserve Stem cells for the later medical use for your family, contact us today at: (303) 988-9060.
