Sure, if you eat a lot of it and have poor dental hygiene. But you have to eat a lot of it. Like the only stories of it being a problem are like one person who would constantly drink lemon water. It's not particularly acidic, but the constant exposure made it a problem. Most people aren't anywhere near that level.
Well, I had this issue from drinking too much orange juice. I did drink it often but not an extreme amount I'd say. But even lower levels of acidity can cause your teeth to weaken over time.
