BDA advice on dental x-rays was taken
David Davies, Conservative MP for Monmouth, has said mandatory teeth checks would reassure people the UK was not being exploited. But the BDA responded saying that said such checks would be unethical and that dental radiographs cannot accurately determine whether someone is under the age of 18 or not.
After rapidly opposing this idea, the British Dental Association (BDA) has since welcomed news that the Home Office has followed its advice - and ruled out unethical and ineffective x-rays to establish the age of child asylum seekers.
