Absolutely not. The acid from juice dissolves the enamel. Please do not do this.
It can but it is not advised as it etches the enamel and makes it weak
Lemon juice is a fairly strong acid and will dissolve or erode teeth and can cause serious damage to them. It is possible some stain might be removed from the surface of the tooth however the damage and risk of permanent damage are very high. We frequently see patients that have damaged their teeth by sucking on lemons. Almost always these cases require some sort or restoration (filling, veneer, or crown) to repair the damage.
No, lemon juice is an acid, and whitening gels are bases. Lemon juice will only weaken and break down your enamel and cause cavities. See your dentist for the best whitening options for your teeth.
No, no, no. It will actually eat away the enamel.
Nope. It will erode enamel.
