Scientists have discovered that stem cells from extracted wisdom teeth are incredibly potent. These dental stem cells have shown the ability to regenerate neurons, making them potential treatments for Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and even spinal cord injuries.
What makes wisdom tooth stem cells unique is that they’re easy to access, minimally invasive, and have neural crest origins—meaning they naturally lean toward becoming nervous system cells. Studies have shown success in lab-grown models for nerve regeneration and brain cell repair.
So next time you think of discarding a wisdom tooth, remember—it could hold the key to reversing neurological disorders.
