Teeth Whitening One of the most popular teeth whitening tips is to brush your teeth with lemon. But did you know that in addition to the lack of certification from experts that it actually works, the Department of Health of the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand has also warned that lemon juice, which is highly acidic, can dissolve calcium on the surface of the teeth, causing tooth erosion? This eroded or damaged tooth enamel will cause tooth sensitivity, increasing the risk of tooth decay. In addition, lemon juice can also cause irritation and inflammation of the gums UFABET 

Treating dark lips : With its acidic and corrosive properties, it is believed that rubbing lemon on the lips can help reduce dark lips and make them naturally pinkish. However, as with many other benefits, there have been no studies to confirm its effectiveness. Therefore, this property remains just a belief.

Reduce bad breath. Slicing a lemon into small pieces and chewing them is another recommended way to get rid of bad breath. It is thought that the citric acid found in lemons or oranges stimulates the salivary glands, eliminates bad breath and freshens the breath. However, if you want to try this trick, don’t forget to wash the lemon peel before chewing it. Scientifically, there have been no serious studies on the benefits of lemons.
