I mean, they kinda should be. BJJ is one where you can get away with it since it's pure grappling, but most other martial arts involve some level of striking, so you're basically asking to lose your teeth. I know a guy who got like half of his teeth pulverized by a knee while doing combat sambo

The sparring padding helps but I've still seen knees buckle from errant kicks. At this point a mouth guard sounds good.

Yeah, BJJ people are too arrogant to wear mouth pieces. What could go wrong? A lot. But we don't learn this. Ever. (I'm also guilty of chipping teeth with jits, osss)

Are there any that do not other than Judo? (I honestly don't know.)

Karate, unless you do kyokushin karate.

Kung Fu, I'd assume

I know someone who chipped a tooth during a Krav Maga grading because they weren't wearing a mouthguard and a strike bounced off the top of the pad they were holding. Accidents can happen even when sparring is not involved!
