Wisdom Teeth are not that pain in mouth as they have something useful after all!
The wisdom tooth you always thought was good for nothing but unnecessary pain may be worth something after all. It is a good source of stem cells. The soft pulp inside the wisdom tooth contains mesenchymal stromal cells,which are similar to those found in bone marrow,a common source of stem cells. Tooth pulp is more easily obtained than bone marrow,especially when it comes to wisdom teeth,which most people removed anyway.International studies conducted with stem cells extracted from wisdom tooth have shown tremendous promise in regenerating damaged bones,cornea and cardiac muscles.YOU don't necessarily have to remove the wisdom tooth to extract stem cells from the pulp.Usually,the pulp has million cells,20% of which will be stem cells. It can be extracted from a person between 17 and 30.Dental stem cells are very easy to extract. They have high quality of stem cells in them and can be applied for many regenerative applications.Scientists from Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology confirmed that third molars-commonly know as wisdom teeth are valuable reservoir of stem cells."Thus everyone might be carrying around his or her own personal stem-cell repository should he or she ever need some."
