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.
