How bad is lemon juice for your tooth enamel?!


Question:

How bad is lemon juice for your tooth enamel?

I often drink water with lots of fresh lemons in it....I know the acid from lemons can erode tooth enamel so is there a chance of this happening from the water?


Answers:

BAD. It is very acidic and sugary. Would not be a problem if diluted in a glass of water. But people who suck lemons, can have some nasty erosion of their enamel. Don't forget to brush after your strong lemon drink.
