Oral health care for the internationally adopted child: a case report.
While the health considerations of the internationally adopted child have been widely discussed in the medical scientific literature, there has not been substantial discourse on the oral health needs of international adoptees. The purpose of this case report is to review some of the medical implications associated with international adoption and, more importantly, highlight some of the potential oral health complications present in this at-risk group of children.
