This poem made me remember of when i was about 5 years old during the summer. I never cared if I got cuts, I had mud bakeries, and I believed all fairytales and stories that were told to me. I still believed in unicorns and climbing trees until I couldn’t see the ground. I remember going to camp for the first time, I was so excited and nervous. It was the best week of my life, I remember swimming all day long no matter how much my hands wrinkled. I remember playing games that were never ending of fun and no matter how many cuts or scratches I had from the games I would keep playing until I could not play anymore. I made sandcastles and huge holes throughout the sand and all over the beach. I made too friends to remember but yet I remember them all exactly. When the week came to an end I couldn’t imagine life without that camp and still don’t today. I won camper of the week, which made that camp experience the best week of my life. I still go every summer to that camp and think of that first time and have just as much fun.

Some people disapprove of adding fluoride to drinking water because if there is too much flouride in it then it will stain your teeth with brown marks. Also people dont know how much flouride is in the water so people will still drink the water and i wouldn’t want to do that without knowing the amount so my teeth could become rotten. Many advocacy groups proclaim reports on the controversies of flourine in water and they do declare that on toothpaste warnings it is saying there is toxicity. Over exposure to flourine before 8 years of age can cause enamel fluorosis. Symptoms of fluoride may cause nausea, diharrea, vomiting, abdominal pain, increased salivation, or increased thirst. They begin 30 minutes after ingestion and can last up to 24 hours.
My position would be to add the flouride to the water because it will prevent teeth decay and I can have better dental hygene. Also I won’t have diseases or problems with my teeth concerning teeth decay. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamal, which is a hard and shiny substance that protects the teeth so that it can better withstand build up of plaque. Also fluoride permits teeth damaged by acid to repair. Fluoride may not mend cavities but it does reverse low levels of teeth decay therefore preventing new cavities from forming.
The technological advance is that you must combine the flourine with a compatible abrasive. Now it mixes with tooth enamal and then prevents tooth decay or cavities. Also it works with saliva to protect tooth enamal from plaque and sugars. Fluorine helps with preventing bad things to your teeth, it’s especially good with kids because then they will have healthier teeth as an adult.
The side effects that most concern me are that if there is too much flouride in the product it will stain my teeth with brown marks. Also that it may cause cancer, that would be the big problem with putting in my water. There are also toxcity problems that will cause bad symptoms which I would not to have. Also many people have said that some of them problems with have come from the fluoride and it has been said to be deadly.
