Research Facts
Dr Ralph and Mrs Olga Crawford donated their extensive Canadian dental collection to the DCF to create the museum in 1997; further donations were received while Dr Crawford was Curator Emeritus at the Dental Canada Museum until its closure in 2008; the Ontario Dental Association was founded in 1867 by Kingston, Ontario dentist Dr. Barnabus Day; the aim was to promote "professional and social intercourse" and encourage a "disposition for investigation" in every aspect of dentistry; as of 2010, 80% of Ontario dentists are members of the ODA and the journal, now called the Ontario Dentist, is still being published
