The Ontario Ministry of
Health .has -started "'a
$350,000 dental health
program.
"We are launching a
new campaign that will
instill long-lasting
preventive health
habits," Health Minister
Dennis Timbrell said.
"The program employs
creative methods for
involving all age groups,
but half the concentration
is directed toward the
younger age groups
because that is when
habits learned are more
likely to endure."
The program for young
people has been built
around the cartoon
character Murphy the
Molars who„__ will, be
promoting good dental
habits through Murphy
buttons, Murphy stickers,
a Murphy the Mighty
Molar story book and
several specialty items.
All the materials will be
distributed to the schools
and to the public across
the province through the
Public Health Units in
each district.
"There is not a readily
available figure on how
much Ontarians spend,
each year on their teeth.
But there is no argument
that the cost of treatment
far exceeds the cost of
prevention,” Mr. Tim-
