have you ever knocked teeth out or anything by fallin?

yes, it is very necessary, braces are expensive, if you are just riding
around town you dont have to but if you are gonna jump at all then
definatly were it, just yesterday, i almost knocked out my already three
fake front teeth(from ice skating)but it is expensive to get the
replaced and your orthodontist wouldn't be to happy either, and if your
around your grandma just were it to make her happy

I suppose it's possible but unlikely to happen. Never heard of it. Heard
of chipping a tooth or something but nothing too serious. I personally
wouldn't wear one but that's my view and opinion on it, unless you're a
super hard core trails person trying to do impossible stuff. You could
knock your teeth out by getting in a car accident or just by
walking/running if you tripped so maybe you should always wear the mouth
guard!! 😉

Guess it's all up to you and what you think is best. Does the
hassle/uncomfortableness of wearing one outweigh the benifits? That's
the question to ask.

to answer your question "have you ever knowed teeth out or anything by
fallin", I chipped a tooth by falling. Granted, i was rock climbing at
the time, but you didn't mention anything about unicycling 🙂

I broke my front tooth in half juggling (my friend through a bad behind
the back double pass and it hit me in the mouth.)

It then broke again a year later eating a burrito.

350 bucks each time to fix it, and it will probably break once a year
with my luck.

Breaking teeth sucks, don't do it.

Lead fall, dude? Or some swinging aid thing? Either way, that's
gnarly and could've been gnarlier, I'd wager.

Whether this is necessary or not depends on your relationship with
your grandma :-)

Teeth to ground contact is quite rare in unicycling.

If memory serves, Mikefule broke a few teeth maybe two years ago in a
bad fall during MUni. For MUni he now wears a full-face helmet.

i've had teeth knocked out while riding a b*ke, but not on a uni yet.
good thing dad was willing to shove a couple teeth back into the gums of
a half conscious son. this was years ago though.

For skateboarding: yes... especially if you do 'things like this'
(http://www.danerd.com/Show.php?vid=988),
For just unicycling.... not really, unless you're planning do stupid
things.
I was searching on mouthgards recently, and found some. But they are
much harder to get than in the 80's when BMX racing was big.
