They are unspecialized cells, meaning they can develop into any specialized cell your body needs. This extraordinary property gives stem cells the potential to heal and restore the skin, muscles, bones, nerves, and more—in stark contrast to other cells in our body that can only replicate into their own kind.\nAdult stem cells, the type found inside wisdom teeth, are extremely sustainable. They can survive in a controlled environment outside the body and continue replicating into specialized cells that can be used for healing purposes. Stem cell researchers are harnessing the abilities of these cells to create treatments for diseases and disorders once thought untreatable, and there are many other applications for stem cells on the horizon, such as growing new compatible organs for transplantation from one's own cells.

Wisdom teeth extraction presents an unusually convenient chance to bank these cells right when the cells are at the peak of viability since wisdom teeth are typically extracted in the teen years. The older we get, the more our stem cells decrease in quantity and quality. Banking your stem cells at an early age maximizes the chance that they will be successful in the future when called upon to fight disease or illness.","youtube":"I9hXG4ke9gU","youtubePhotoPublicId":"OSSC/DEV/stem-cells-why","paddingBottom":null,"paddingTop":null,"genericSection":null},{"type":"textSection","sideColumnIs":5,"textSection":"
