A safe age to start pointe is ages 11 to 13, which is when the growth plates of the ankle have fused. Starting pointe before this has the potential to permanently disfigure the ankle and/or foot.
Also generally before this girls have not had enough strength training to sustain them en pointe.

What happens if you go on pointe without being told to?
hey! if you go en pointe without being told to by a ballet instructor or/and a dance phsyiotherapist you will most likely injure yourself. going en pointe can be a wonderful or horrible experience. if you take the time to strengthen your legs, ankles, feet and core then you will get en pointe and stay en pointe without injury's. if you go en pointe just because it looks cool and you haven't actually made yourself ready then you could break an ankle, break a toe, damage your knees and completely ruin your feet and dance Carrier for life. you cant replace broken feet. if you want to get en pointe then talk to your dance teacher about pre pointe and maybe you and her can arrange something XD hope i helped!

How old should you be to dance on en pointe?
It doesn't always depend on age it is usually dependant on how strong ones ankles are. But do bare in mind that one should never let a five year old on pointe that would be pretty stupid. If you yourself want to dance on pointe and think you are strong and sensible enough then if you have a dance coach/teacher then why dont you ask them ? And if you are aloud on pointe then make sure they are properly fitted at a local dance shop and not just bought off the internet! From Eden (Dancer since 2 and a half years of age) xx
