Depends: Depends on the condition of your teeth...If are inhealthy condition ..Probably should be okay but dont do again..If had existing erosion..Abrasion or teeth sensitive to begin woth..Can make teeth more prone to getting sensitivity..Get checked by your dentist....

See your dentist: There are a lot better less abrasive alternatives for brushing/cleaning the teeth than lemon juice. Contact your dentist/dental hygienist for recommendations.
