Tap water is best, say dentists

Sydney - Dentists on Sunday urged Australians to drink tap water rather than
bottled water or risk the earlier onset of tooth decay.
Dental Health Week spokesman John Bergman said tap water is better
than bottled water because it has a constant level of fluoride
which is good for teeth and reduces decay.
"Therefore we would prefer people who don't like using water -
maybe it's the smell of the water - maybe we would encourage them
to use it in cooking, soups, cordials and things like that," he
said. - Sapa-DPA
