Revised Paragraph from Pro Con Paper

It is a proven fact that while working out or doing an activity it makes us hot and sweaty. It is also a proven fact that those who live in warmer climates get something to drink more often. With both of these facts being put together, comes the idea of putting less fluoride in those who live in warmer climates water. This idea has been thought of and processed as to how much fluoride should be added to water. Those who live in warmer climates tend to get drinks more often then those who live in colder ones. Therefore, meaning they don’t need as much fluoride in the water. According to table 33-1, on page 550, of the Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist book, it gives information pertaining to this topic. When the temperature is a little colder between 50-53.7 degrees F the fluoride concentration is 1.2 parts per million (ppm), when the outside temperature warms up between 58.4- 62.8 degrees F the concentration is 1.0 ppm, and when the temperature is hot between 79.3-90.5 degrees F the concentration is 0.7. Typically the ppm added to the water is in-between 0.7-1.2, what it all coming down to though is the temperature of the outside weather.

It is a proven fact that while working out or doing an activity makes us hot and sweaty, leaving us thirsty. It is also a proven fact that those who live in warmer climates get something to drink more often. With both of these facts being put together, creates the idea of putting less fluoride in those who live in warmer climates water. A logical idea such as how much concentrate to add has been thoroughly thought about and actually tested, and proven this hypothesis correct. According to table 33-1, on page 550, of the Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist book, it gives information pertaining to this topic. When the temperature is a little colder between 50-53.7 degrees F the fluoride concentration is 1.2 parts per million (ppm), when the outside temperature warms up between 58.4- 62.8 degrees F the concentration is 1.0 ppm, and when the temperature is hot between 79.3-90.5 degrees F the concentration is 0.7. Typically the amount added to the water is in-between 0.7-1.2 ppm, depending on the climate. If the amount gets any higher then 1.2 ppm, is when it starts becoming dangerous. Having the correct amount of fluoride concentrate added into water is key too creating and revealing a healthy smile.

  1. This is a very interesting topic I never really thought about it much. I really liked how you revised it, you made your points more clear and overall more interesting to read about. You have a really cool style of writing, I like that you can relate to the audience and you know how to connect with them very well.
