Dr. Farnum’s Biological Dentistry

A New Concept in Oral Health: Biological Dentistry

An Alternative Approach to Dentistry

Dr. Farnum’s dedication to Biological Dentistry comes from experiencing firsthand the benefits this practice offers to his patients. It makes sense to only use materials that are biologically compatible and biochemically non-reactive. Dr. Farnum considers all dental materials placed in the teeth to be the equivalent of time release drugs, and is concerned about the effects this can have on whole-body health. Over time, these materials degrade and are released into the system where problems can develop. Dr. Farnum strives to use bio-compatible materials that minimize these problems. His understanding and consideration toward chemical sensitivities, allergies, and concerns about toxins make him a unique doctor in the dental field.

Philosophy

What is Biological Dentistry, and why is it the best choice for my whole-body health?

Biological Dentistry is based on the concept that oral health and whole-body health are inextricably related; a healthy mouth supports a healthy body. Therefore, as Biological Dentists,

"We use the highest quality materials and safest, most effective methods to offer patients the greatest opportunity for oral and overall health.”
