My son came home from Guatemala at age 20 months and had two crowns put on within 6 months. He has no enamel on his teeth due to either malnutrition or exposure to something inutero which had led to the decay. He has been home 3 years now and we have been able to prevent any further decay and are just hoping his permenant teeth are better.
I think about it this way . . . Many children come to the US with medical issues that need to be treated. Dental issues would be no different. You determine what needs to be done, when the child will be ready for the treatment to begin, and go from there.
Hope that helps!
