Dental implants help woman eat first meal.A 53-year-old mother from Doncaster is to receive emergency dentistry treatment to help her eat her first solid meal in more than 50 years. 
The Yorkshire Post reported Teresa Robinson was left with no teeth in the upper part of her jaw after a lifelong struggle with dental problems.
However, a £20,000 operation carried out at the Fountain Dental, Cosmetic and Implant Clinic in Bessacarr, Doncaster, is to see her fit with dental implants to enable her to eat solid food again.
Ms Robinson said: “It will help me to be able to eat and have food with people. At the moment, I cannot go out anywhere because I am always covering my mouth up.”
Elsewhere, the Consumer Guide to Dentistry recently revealed the number of dental implant treatments being carried out in the UK is growing, with 2010 likely to see a further increase in the use of this technology.
