Store-A-Tooth cited as the “amazing reason to keep your kids’ baby teeth”!

It has been known for decades that baby teeth are a rich source of stem cells, and our project partner Provia’s dental stem cell storage system Store-A-Tooth was developed several years ago to enable the storage of dental stem cells. All those involved in the development of Store-A-Tooth were aware that the product was well ahead of the curve, but the good news is that mainstream knowledge is quickly catching up with what Provia knew a long time ago.
