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
