Dear practo user
Lemon juice is acidic in nature so it might have etched your teeth surface.
Can share photos through chat box for definite diagnosis and treatment planning.

It can be due to high iron level in water at your locality, not due to lemon juice.
Ash discoloration of tooth as a whole can be due to any accidental trauma to the tooth too.
Pls attach a picture of the tooth for better suggestion.

Lemon juice cannot stain teeth only the acid in it can affect the tooth structure
Check with near by dentist or share the photograph of the teeth
Trauma to teeth previously can also be reason
