What is the normal age to start a child on the trumpet?

I remember in our area of the country children normally started on instruments in the 6th grade. Is this still the case?

And....I seem to remember that if you start a child on a brass instrument (or woodwind for that matter) that can adversely affect the development of their teeth. Is that true?
