The author discusses a proposal by Tory Members of Parliament to use dental checks to verify the age of asylum-seeking children arriving in Great Britain. Topics include an agreement made by Great Britain's government to take in unaccompanied minors from a refugee camp in Calais, France, the inaccuracy of dental checks due to varying developmental age in children, and the risks associated with children being assessed as adults or adults being assessed as children.
