Date: January 08, 2009 03:49AM I asked my dentist the same question: Am I damaging my teeth by drinking daily lemon water? She said: "No, certainly not. You would have to eat many lemons raw, daily, for a long period of time before they would have any affect on your teeth." Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/08/2009 03:53AM by shane.

I think it would be safer to drink citrus juice without getting it on the teeth, like through a straw or something. [www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Re: Can I drink lemon water everyday?

Citrus, mercury... Now, riding your bicycle around in India for a month like you're contemplating, that, I think, would be more harmful to your teeth than citrus or mercury."
