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; instrument matches photo of "ordinary hoe" in the S.S. White Dental Mfg. Co.'s catelog. Instrument evidently used for scaling serumal calculus.
