Single tooth anesthesia is the first computer-controlled local dental anesthetic system. Unlike the traditional dental syringe application of anesthesia, STA is a kid-friendly alternative that eliminates the need for a dental injection. In addition, another benefit of single tooth anesthesia is that the anesthetic effects are limited to the tooth, not the lip or face. Therefore, this eliminates concerns about a child biting their lip (during or following a procedure) due to numbness.
StemSave provides families with the opportunity to collect and preserve the valuable stem cells that are contained within the baby teeth, wisdom teeth and permanent teeth. Through cryopreservation, these stem cells can be used to treat future disease or injury. Today, scientists are directing stem cells so they can grow into almost any type of human cell, including heart, brain, cartilage, liver, and insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.
