“Oral hygiene is important to everyone because without proper oral hygiene one’s teeth will fall out.”
Comedic:
Are you kidding? If oral hygiene was really important to everyone, I would never be writing about this issue today! Now, to me, I can’t even begin to tell you how important I feel oral hygiene is. However, try asking the crack addict that’s standing down on the corner with his four front teeth missing, trying to collect money for his next drug deal, just how important his oral hygiene is to him! I’m pretty sure you can assume the opinion is not going to be mutual.
Involved and Angry:
How can people not care about their oral hygiene? So many first impressions come from that first smile when you meet somebody! There are so many opportunities out there for people to get cheap care for their oral well being, and it starts with a toothbrush, $3.49 at your local Wal-Mart!
Distant and Balanced:
Oral hygiene may not be important to everyone; however, people should take the time to realize how it truly affects your overall well being. It may be true that “…without proper oral hygiene one’s teeth will fall out,” but this isn’t the first consequence to poor oral health. There are so many problems that will occur first, but will eventually lead up to this severe travesty.
*** I believe that I will use the Distant and Balanced voice. To tell you the truth, I had a very hard time coming up with an argument for the other two voices! Nothing about my topic comes off to me as Comedic or Angry! In fact, I think that while attempting to write those responses, they came off ruder than anything else …. And I really don’t like that!

Dani-
I actually bought a new toothbrush yesterday and it was only $2.50! So it is even cheaper for people to start taking care of their teeth! Anyhow, I really like your topic and I definately agree with the distant and balanced approach. The other two voices as you said, could be taken the wrong way.
I think I would change the thesis from "important TO everyone" to important FOR everyone".
For that crack addict you mentioned its not important TO him but it certainly is important FOR him. Make sense?
I think education will be an important issue here because some people (adults and kids) sadly, just dont know !
can you get more focused - oral hygiene is a very broad topic - no one disagrees that it is a good thing.
