* ''Manga/SPYxFamily'': In Episode 12, when [[MamaBear Yor]] kicks the terrorist who's "kidnapping" Anya in the jaw, the close up shows ''four'' teeth flying off his mouth.

* This happened a LOT in Creator/GailSimone's original run on ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey''. Possibly as a way to show combat damage, and how much the fights hurt both heroines and villains alike. Huntress does this deliberately to a goon at one point, which is a bit icky, her being a heroine and all. In a subversion of BeautyIsNeverTarnished, the villain Rabbit knocks out one of ComicBook/BlackCanary's teeth, and even proceeds to taunt her about it. The most epic of these occurs in issue #124.

* A couple examples in ''Film/SpaceJam'' first when Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd shoot out Monstar Bupkis' teeth when he tries to kill Wile E. Coyote, when Tweety goes berserk he punches Monstar Blanko and knocks out one of his teeth, and when Monstar Nawt kicks Taz if you look carefully he knocks out a tooth.

Whether the real life Koulikov did, however, is not known.

Often an ObligatoryJoke with hockey players in fiction.

* Very likely to happen [[UnnecessaryRoughness in many sports]]. There's a reason why many media depict hockey as a main staple for losing teeth since it's very likely to get slammed into the wall or floor or even smacked by a hockey stick or even the puck itself. It doesn't help that most men's hockey helmets leave the lower face exposed.

* In the ''Franchise/HarryPotter''/''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'' crossover ''Evil Be Thou My God'', Harry is punched by Peter Pettigrew's silver hand and loses a molar in the process. He discovers this when he spits out a mouthful of blood and the wayward dentition comes with.

The dragon is less distressed by the pain than by the fact a pony broke his tooth, which he would never hear the end of in the Dragonlands.

[[folder:Asian Animation]]
* In the ''[=AstroLOLogy=]'' short "Dental-phobia", Scorpio wins a boxing match against Leo, knocking one of the latter's teeth out.
