A slice of lime in water is bad for the teeth?

I drink nothing but water and a friend of mine said thaat a liice of lime made it all the better, I am not sure though if I had a slice every time if it would damage my teeth?

Answer:
If you take care of your teeth otherwise (brush/floss regularly, get checkups) and if you don't consume a lot of lime juice (probably more than you'd be able to consume in a day), it should be just fine. Check with your dentist for sure though.
I am sorry, but why would a slice of lime damage your teeth? Are you thinking about the acid in citrus fruit? Since it would be in water, I doubt it would do anything.

For that matter, I have either lemon, lime or orange in my water all the time and my teeth are fine...
the acid in lime damages the enamel on your teeth after a while
