I myself would get X rays.  Especially for my kids.  Although my kids
have great teeth.  Ages 13,14 and 17, and none of them ever had a single
cavity!   My kids get X rays once a year instead of twice a year like
dentists recommend.  But if bad teeth run in the family,  then I would
get them 2 times a year  If my child had an injury, and we needed to see
if there were any broken bones, I would want an Xray for that too.  As
long as proper precautions ares being taken when your child is having x
rays. *although none of my kids ever broke a bone or had any serious
injury either* (knock on wood)!!
