Future Health Biobank: Win Dental Pulp Banking Service
From the moment we give birth, as parents, we all have one common interest for the health and well-being of our child. I know that for me, from the second they were placed in my arms I knew I would do everything in my power to keep them safe and protected not just during infancy, but for their entire lifetime. And one way to do just that is via Dental Pulp Banking, something I knew very little about until recently.
What is Dental Pulp Banking?
Future Health Biobank explain, “Stem cells are the building blocks of life, they create a direct link between your child’s good health at the time they are born and their good health in the future. Should your child face any number of a vast range of health issues in later life, stem cells may be the key to repairing and restoring their health. Dental Pulp Banking is the process of storing these cells.
The dental pulp within milk teeth contain your child’s own unique cells, meaning they are a perfect match and carry a significant probability of a match for other members of the family too. They can be held as a type of biological insurance, which one day might help to save their life should they ever contract a serious illness or medical condition.
Mesenchymal stem cells that may be present within dental pulp, could play an important part in repair and regeneration treatments for diseases such as: Arthritis, Muscular dystrophy, Neurogenerative diseases & Myocardial infarctions.”
So how does it work?
Future Health Biobank is a global leader in quality stem cell processing, cryopreservation and screening services and have collected over 150,000 samples across 75 countries over 17 years and are ready and waiting to help you bank your child’s dental pulp. It really couldn’t be easier!
Once you have completed your initial agreement online or by post, you simply alert Future Health Biobank when your child shows signs of a wobbly tooth so they can send out a collection kit.
As soon as your child’s tooth comes out simply follow the instructions found within the collection kit along with everything else you need to collect and return your child’s tooth sample.
You then simply package the tooth as instructed, making sure to fill in the donor’s medical history questionnaire, remove the blood test kit and store in a safe place until the customer care team arrange courier collection at a time to suit you. They then arrange for a medically approved courier to collect and deliver the kit to their laboratory.
Once the tooth has been collected the Customer Care services will arrange a blood test to take place within the next few days and it’s as simple as that! I had no idea how easy it would be to have my children’s dental pulp banked in this way, nor how beneficial it would be for their future health to have that in place. It’s really opened my eyes to the importance of these methods.
Of course, with Dental Pulp Banking does not come cheap, with prices starting at £1895 (with £95 yearly storage fee applicable) and yet for many parents this level of reassurance for their future health makes it worth every single penny I’m sure.

I have never considered dental pulp banking before because until this article,I did not know it existed.
No, I’ve never heard about the service before.
Heard if stem cell research and it’s benefits but not this method – will be invaluable to protect the next generation
I’ve never heard about this my daughter has her first wobbly tooth would be interesting
I’d never even heard of it until now
As a cell culture sceintist I have definately considered it but it is very expensive and not that many places that offer it.
Amazing, I didn’t even know such a thing existed
No, I’ve never heard of it before!
We did the stem cell storage for our youngest but hadn’t heard about it with ounh.r first. Such a great thing to be able to do.L
Never heard of it before
I’ve never heard it before but it sounds like a much better alternative to the Tooth Fairy!
This is really interesting, I’ve only heard a little about it before but didn’t know how to do it.
to be honest, I’ve never thought of itas this is the first time I’ve heard of it!!
I’ve never heard of it before but I’m going to read up more about it now.
I’d never considered till reading this
I did not even know this was a thing, but I think it is a fantastic idea and definitely something I will consider.
i have never considered it as i have never heard of it to be honest sounds interesting though
I’ve never even heard of it before
I have heard about it but its so expensive
never heard of it before :O sounds interesting tho thanks for the chance 😀
I have heard of dental pulping & after reading several articles sounded like a fabulous thing for my youngest son. Although medicine is progressing so are conditions, infections etc so having a stem profile is a huge advantage in regards to receiving the correct treatment. However my eyes watered at the cost
Wonderful
I have not heard of this before but what an amazing idea
What a great idea to protect your little ones, as a new Mum i must admit i didn’t know this was possible – i’m not sure anyone in my Mummy groups know either!
i hadn’t considered it because i hadn’t heard of it
I’ve considered it but it’s more than we can afford
I’ve never heard about this
great giveaway
Never seen this before!
No have never seen or heard of before
Wow… I had honestly never heard of this outside of birth and stem cell harvesting but it’s something we would definitely consider
Such an amazing opportunity for the future.
No

I never knew it existed, it’s wonderful, thanks for the chance to win such a great prize x
To be honest I have never heard of this but what a fabulous idea
Never heard of it, looks interesting.
I have but the prices are way to much for me unfortunately
Never heard of this service before, the cost means it will be out of reach to many parents which is a shame as we all want to safeguard our amazing children. Had I known about the service sooner I’d have saved up from my son’s birth….he’s now almost 6 and anxiously awaiting his first wobbly tooth!
I hadn’t considered it before but now I’m all over the idea!
ive never heard of it before
Never heard of it before x
I never have purely because I didn’t know it existed. Great idea though
