These are then digested by the bacteria in the mouth and converted to acids. The acids in combination with saliva from a layer called plaque that cause...more

Enamel loss is nothing but tooth-enamel erosion, and this is quite a pathetic kind of oral condition. If the eroded enamel does not get restored, then your oral condition will get deteriorated to a great extent.
Teeth enamel plays the most important role in protecting teeth and if this layer gets eroded, then your teeth will get heavily damaged. Your teeth will not only get eroded, but the real dental color will also get changed.

Why enamel erosion occurs?

Wisdom teeth usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 21, though it's possible for them to push through earlier or later. Referred to as your "third molars," these four teeth begin to push through the skin like any other tooth, which can cause pain. However, wisdom teeth are much more likely to grow in at an incorrect angle – even sideways – causing impaction that can radiate this pain to the teeth in front of it. Kindly get it extracted as soon as possible.

We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need adv. Cleaning and artificial enamel filling or root canal treatment with a cap for deep cavities.

Chances of hiv spread through saliva is very very less. The virus can only transmit through contact with blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids and breast milk. If you are not in contact with any of these then you don't need to be worried about it.
