It means that you have periodontal (gum) disease. When you have calculus (tartar) build-up on your teeth around your gums, it causes an infection in your gums, so as your body tries to fight the infection it will start to destroy the bone and other supportive connective tissue around your teeth. The bone shrinks away and you're left with "pockets" in your gums. If you lose too much bone you can eventually lose your teeth. to do t
As for bone grafting, it can be a good treatment for you, but it can also be unnecessary. Depending on the amount of bone loss you have determines whether or not you need one. I would follow the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle. Go to your dentist and see what he says. If you need a bone graft he may be able to do it or he may refer you to a periodontist (gum disease specialist). But, I wouldn't worry about bone grafting yet, most people don't need them.

that's means you've lost that part that suport your teeth in position , that increase your mobility of your teeth and you will end up loosing your teeth ,you can fix this by going to an oral surgeon and doing a procedure that is called bone grafting , taking bone from other part of your body and put it on that area that you need and it will heal very good and you gonna have tooth support again
Are many reasons that can cause bone loss, depends on your age , and your oral health care .

BONE LOSS IS THE RESULT OF AN INFECTION IN THE GUMS, THAT SURROUNDS YOUR TEETH. BECAUSE YOUR BONE FLEES INFECTION, IT PULLS AWAY FROM THE INFECTION AND RECEDES.
SO HOW DO YOU STOP THE BONE LOSS?
YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF THE INFECTION.
HOW IS THIS DONE?
BY ELIMINATING THE CALCULUS (TARTAR) UNDER THE GUMS BY THE DENTIST OR HYGIENIST, AND BY YOU KEEPING TARTAR FROM FORMING IN THE FIRST PLACE THROUGH PROPER HOME CARE.

A lack of adequate calcium. Teeth and their support structurs are made of bone materials.
