My son's teeth were fine, but he was in an orphanage not a foster home, I don't know if that made a difference. I doubt they put flouride in thier water, as that is actually only a fairly recent thing, our parents did not have that and Poland is behind us in many ways. Also I know my Russian daughter was given lots of sugary tea in her orphanage and the bottles propped, and that lead to lots of tooth problems for kids from there, I don't know if it's the same in Poland. Also if your kids lived for two years with thier bio families, they probably did not brush teeth there, after all, they were removed from that home, so it was probably not the most watchful home. The good thing is they are home now and getting the care they need. I also don't know how expensive dental care is there. The family I stayed with in Russia did not get dental cleanings or anything because it was very expensive.
