Hello everyone, I'm new here and I would like to know this, which I didn't find anywhere.
I want to know how likely is to lose a tooth or tooths by falling on the ground head first.
The reason for this is that I like to use rollerskates e skate, and I'm frightened every time I'm gonna use them to fall head first and lose my teeth, not only because of the pain, but to actually losing it and the trauma, having extracted and lost a need to root caries, it makes my fear even worse, since I drenched in sweat and being extremely nervous when my dentist was extracting it.

I am eventually buy when I can afford a helmet, but I don't know if the skate helmet is enough since it only covers the top and rear of the head, not the face, like the motorcycle helmet does, but I heard that motorcycle helmet is very, very unconfortable and heavy, but I'll likely buy one anyway and get used to it.

Sorry if it's too long of a post or if I misspeled or said something wrong, my english is rusty :)

Thanks in advance!
 
Chance id quite low and bike helmet is out of the question since it will affect your balance and even limit your vision. What you want to do is to learn how to fall. You should never fall head first and if it does happen if you do stunts then arms are there to slow down impact and protect head. If you are not good at it practice.

Edit: if you are very paranoid about it only thing that comes to mind is using mouth guard but learning how to fall is way better solution :)
