CHILD DENTISTRY
We Love Children!
Why take your child to Artiste Studios - L'Orthodontiste?
At Artiste Studios - L'Orthodontiste, we believe that foundations for a lifetime of good dental awareness begins when children are little. We embrace a preventative philosophy and aim to teach young children the importance of keeping their teeth clean and healthy. We reserve more time per appointment so that the appointment is relaxed and fun, and each child learns to love the dentist!
​
What are the things that we look out for at your child's dental examination?
​
-
The teeth present, noting displaced, unerupted or missing teeth
-
Oral hygiene levels
-
Cavities and future susceptibility to cavities
-
Presence of gum disease/conditions
-
The soft tissue pattern
-
The position of the lips at rest
-
Tongue position during speech and swallowing
-
The presence of thumb and finger sucking habits
-
The bite, noting how much the teeth protrude and overlap, any deviation to the centreline, crowding or spacing, crossbites.
-
Whether there is any displacement of the jaws when closing
-
Skeletal discrepancy
After the initial examination, we will note our findings and let you know how your child is doing with their tooth brushing, and if there is anything that requires further attention.
Your child may join our membership program for only £8 a month. In addition to the benefits of membership, this will include a children's examination and cleaning every 6 months, and as always, at convenient times to suit both your schedules.
Call us today to book your initial child examination.
TOOTH STEM CELLS
Personalised regenerative medicine is widely accepted as the future of medical science. Stem cell therapy is fundamental to this approach.
​
Baby or deciduous teeth fall out naturally when a child is generally between 6 and 11 years of age. They contain stem cells that have the ability to develop into many different types of cells such as skin, nerve, muscle, fat, cartilage, and tendon. They can potentially be used to replace diseased and damaged tissues in the body without rejection. These teeth are by far the easiest and most natural, non-invasive source of stem cells.
What are stem cells?
​
Stem cells are special AS they can change into other types of cells, which means they have immense potential.
​
Stem cells are unique in the body because they can change into other types of cells, which means they have immense potential to enhance and extend life. Stem cells can replace cells that are lost or damaged by injury or disease. This means that under the right conditions they can be developed and grow to form organs, bones, cartilage and tissue as well as having the ability to repair the immune system.
They can replace cells that are lost or damaged by injury or disease. Grown under the right conditions they can be developed to form organs, bones, cartilage and tissue. Stem cells also have the ability to repair the immune system. Stem cell therapy, without the fear of rejection, offers one of the most promising paths to curing medical conditions, injures and diseases and safeguarding the health of future generations. An ongoing supply of healthy cells is therefore essential.
Sounds impossible? It’s not, thanks to leading research, the realms of what is possible have changed.
Can you extact tooth stem cells?
​
In humans, stem cells can be found in many different parts of the body, typically bone marrow, blood and umbilical cord blood. Now baby teeth have been proven to provide an abundant source of adult stem cells with the potential to treat and cure a vast number of illnesses and diseases.
​
New stem cells therapies are being developed at an unprecedented pace, in fact many ideas for treatment are now becoming a reality and will be more widespread when your child has children of his or her own.
​
It is suggested that extracted milk teeth have the best chance of obtaining the most number of stem cells by extracting dental pulp from the tooth and then isolating the tooth cells from the dental pulp. The pulp of children’s baby teeth generally contains a range of valuable adult stem cells. The process collects all the cells potentially contained within the pulp area of the tooth at the time of collection.The tooth cells are then cryogenically stored ready for use should your child ever need them.
Your child will lose 12 milk teeth over a period of approximately five years. This length of time means there are more opportunities to obtain viable cells for storage and the process is completely non-invasive. These is also a possibility in extracting, testing and storing adult wisdom teeth generally up to the age of 25.
Artiste Studios is excited to be supporting stem cell research through patient education. Our partner is the world’s first and only specialist biobank to collect, assess and cryogenically store living cells from teeth.
Stem Cell Research & Treatment
Stem Cell Treatment
​
Stem Cells are widely thought to be the cornerstone of medicine in the very near future. Whilst stem cells from teeth are not used routinely in medical treatments today, experts believe that one day they could be used to treat many different diseases and injuries. A small selection of research using stem cells from teeth and their potential to treat a variety of disorders is listed here to give you a deeper understanding of the significance of stem cells from teeth.
Stem Cell Research
The continuous advancement in stem cell therapy around the world means scientists are well down the path to curing diseases and healing medical conditions that would otherwise remain un-treatable.
For stem cell therapy to work however, it is imperative that the source of the stem cells is compatible with the recipient and to avoid the rejection of transplanted tissues, it is always best to use the patient’s own stem cells for these treatments.
​
Stem Cell Research and Potential Benefits
The cells found in teeth hold the potential to treat conditions such as:
-
Type 1 diabetes
-
Neuronal degenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease)
-
Cardiovascular disease
-
Paralysis due to spinal cord injury
-
Liver disease
-
Stroke
-
Heart attack
-
Joint bone repair
