While lemons are acidic in the mouth, they make the body basic in the metabolic cycle. This is anti inflammitory and helps to favor health as disease likes an acidic environment.</p> <p>Because the lemon is acidic in our mouth, we should rinse immediately following the warm lemon water to reduce the effect this would have on the tooth enamel. Also, it is best to not sip on the lemon drink but consume it rather quickly. This reduces the length of time the teeth are exposed to this acidic environment.</p> <p>Dr. Michael Olmstead, D..D.S.</p>
