There's a reason why a high kick is called a foul in soccer when an opposing player is near by. It's to avoid scary moments like what happened on Sunday between West Ham and Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup. Going for the ball, the Hammers' Josh Cullen took a violent, forceful kick to the mouth and lost a tooth in the process. Take a look:

But thank goodness, the little tooth was found:
