Question: When Should Children Get Their First Dental X-Ray?
Reply: There are no set rules for when to start dental X-rays. Some children who may be at higher risk for dental problems ( such as those prone to baby bottle tooth decay or those with cleft lip/palate) should have X-rays taken earlier than others. Usually, most children will have had X-rays taken by the age of five or six. As children begin to get their adult teeth around the age of six, X-rays play an important role in helping your dentist to see if all of the adult teeth are growing in the jaw, to look for bite problems, and to determine if teeth are clean and healthy.
