Does chewing or sucking lemon wedge is bad for your teeth because of strong acid that can weaken enamel.?


Answer:
Yes. try to stop that habit if you can. also, try to drink water while you do it and don't brush your teeth right after, this is actually worse for you because of the mechanical wear that it can do to the weakened enamel. But definitley stop this habit or you will have to get expensive work done over and over on your mouth.
yes its so true...besides weakening it it also erodes it away because it is too acidic
yes .. you've answered your own question.
yeppers...exactly what you said.
Yup. It will eat away the enamel and will cost a lot for the dentist to grind down the tooth or teeth to replace with individual crowns ..
well yes you are right lemon contains a strong acid called citric acid which renders enamel weak and liable to wear out and leads to sensitive teeth and which are more prone to cavities ,avoid this habit as it will definatly ruin your teeth.
