Lemon juice, like many fruit juices, is acidic. This means when we drink it, it can cause enamel erosion on our teeth. In fact, lemon juice has a pH level of 2-3 which means it is causing harm to our teeth because liquids with a pH level under four have been proven to negatively impact our dental health. Enjoy in moderation.

Bad bite: Loose, missing, sore, or misaligned teeth create a bad bite that forces jaw muscles to work harder to bring teeth together, swallow, and even keep the mouth closed. This can lead to persistent muscle inflammation that can trigger a migraine or headache.
Nausea, facial tingling, dizziness and sensitivity to sound and light are all symptoms that may accompany migraines. They can mess up the lifestyle of people suffering from them, causing multiple absences from work or school. Migraines may even make them vulnerable to conditions such as depression and anxiety.
