what percent of bmx riders get their teeth knocked out doing ramp tricks

There isn’t a reliable published percentage specifically for “teeth knocked out” among BMX riders doing ramp tricks. The best available evidence says BMX has a high overall injury rate, but the injury studies I found report categories like abrasions, fractures, and concussions rather than dental loss as a separate percentage.

What the evidence shows

  • BMX injuries are common, especially in freestyle and competition settings.
  • One review found 94% of surveyed BMX riders had been injured at some point, though that does not mean 94% lost teeth.
  • Another source reported injury rates such as 6.35 injuries per 100 riders in competition and 1.10 per 100 riders in training, but again not dental-specific.

Teeth-specific risk

  • Dental trauma can happen in BMX, especially with ramps, falls, and face-first impacts, but the sources here don’t give a clean percentage for knocked-out teeth.
  • Forum-style rider reports suggest it’s a real risk over time, but those anecdotes are not a dependable population estimate.

Practical read

If you want a rough answer: the percentage of BMX riders who specifically get their teeth knocked out doing ramp tricks is not well quantified , and any number you see online is likely an estimate, anecdote, or based on a narrow sample. A mouthguard meaningfully reduces the risk of dental injury, especially for ramp riding and tricks with fall potential.

TL;DR: BMX has a clearly elevated injury risk, but there is no solid, widely cited percentage for “teeth knocked out” specifically; it’s documented as possible, not well measured.
