Its too late to prevent tooth decay, at 71 I do not have many teeth left
A lot of mine had root cannels and capes years ago and they then just broke off at gum level!
I will at some stage, need them all out and have false ones.

Mick, as a 76 year old, it was the myth about drinking hot water I was making the point on, but as for the lemon, just copied this from internet:-

Does lemon water help flush your organs out and detox your body?

This persistent one angers me. Not only is it untrue, but my friend who is a dentist tells me that he is seeing a lot people with eroded tooth enamel from all the lemon water they're drinking.

Drinking lemon water in the morning adds more acid to your empty stomach, which can cause you to have a gut ache. Moreover, there is nothing miraculous about lemon, especially on the 'detox' front. Drink a glass of lemon water in the morning if you must, but chase it with a glass of plain water to rinse the acid off your teeth. Don't brush your teeth right after drinking lemon water, which will grind the acid further into the tooth enamel, eroding it more.

That makes sense, thanks
