You may have seen the commercials on T.V. for storing cord blood in order to use their stem cells later in life. Stem cells are the hope of the future to cure many diseases like diabetes and M.S.

The price of storing baby teeth is about half the price of storing cord blood. An initial\u00a0deposit of about $500 dollars is made along with an annual fee each year the teeth are stored.
