Stem cells derived from baby teeth are currently being studied in experimental treatments for a range of serious conditions, including:

  • Type 1 diabetes

  • Heart disease

  • Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s

  • Spinal cord injuries

  • Bone and cartilage defects

  • Certain types of cancer

While many of these applications are still in the research phase, the results so far are promising — and the field continues to evolve rapidly.
