Murphy the Molar, A Classic 1970s Animated Dental Health Character Created in Ontario, Canada
In the 1970s, the dental director of the Ontario Health Ministry created a loveable animated character named “Murphy the Molar” in order to encourage children to develop and maintain good dental health habits for life. Murphy starred in a number of amusing and helpful cartoons that made brushing teeth a little more fun.
The Ontario Ministry of Health created this television spot as part of a health promotion campaign to encourage children to brush regularly and take good care of their teeth.
Lorne Park Dental in Mississauga, Ontario has a wonderful information page dedicated to Murphy.
Retro is definitely in when it comes to Murphy the Molar. His great advice for better dental health for school children still stands.
