That's what my front teeth looked like before they were taken out (bone degeneration, couldn't tell what was holding them in they had so little grip on the bone). I don't think there's anything that can restore the bone. But you may be able to stop it from progressing further.
I was told the bone was "melting" due to some unknown congenital disease. I think it actually probably had a lot to do with the vitamin deficiencies, but genetic predisposition does contribute a lot too. Lots of people are vitamin D deficient at this latitude, apparently (and you're even norther than I am). I think the anemia and low platelets continue to make it difficult for me to keep up with flossing (probably has something to do with why it always bleeds so much), but somehow I don't think that consistent flossing would be enough to completely halt this, either.
