The cause of periodontal bone loss is for a short answer bacteria. If you are not brushing and flossing properly bacteria enter into the gum tissue between the tooth and the gingiva called the sulcus. If left on the teeth this bacteria produces an acid-like by product which eats away at the bone support that holds your teeth in. You can also have periodontal disease by misaligned teeth. If your teeth are hitting together improperly this can cause repeated trauma to the bone support and the periodontal ligament, which then in turn can cause the teeth to become loose. There is no cure for periodontal disease. Once you have lost bone support you can never regain it back naturally. There are some procedures where bone grafting can be done, however not in all cases. What we can do is try to stop the progress of the disease by many different treatments such as:
scaling and root planing to remove the irritants under the gumline
placing antimicrobial agents to help with the bacteria count.
teaching and educating about perio disease, and how, along with your dental team's help, to take care of your teeth properly by brushing, flossing, using a mouthrinse such as peridex, and seeing us for cleanings four times a year instead of two. Many times you can see a specialist such as a periodontist who can perform some surgeries such as pocket reduction to help you hang onto your teeth for longer. The bottom line is that you have to perceive your mouth as part of your whole body care. Our mouths are the dirtiest part of us with tons of bacteria that can get into our blood stream through an open periodontal pocket. An unhealthy mouth many times in the long run can equal an unhealthy body.

Calcium deficiency, infection, genetic.

Replacing calcium should only be undertaken after consultation with your physician as over dose can cause cardiac calcification and death.

Soy drinks can result in low calcium levels, osteoporosis de-calcification of the teeth and periodontal bone loss.

I'm agreeable with perioligament above.
It has nothing to do with calcium deficiency, and you should not attempt any treatment in this area.
Cigarette smoking has a strong association with peridontal disease (7x greater than in non-smokers).
Get thee to a periodontist and have it cleaned up properly.
