Hint, here
You are correct about the Hobbit, it is not really such a problem - try to imagine all the possibilities where in Hobbit someone could have been hit by a tree branch and lost a tooth... (you can start by ellimination method - e.g. it couldn't have been the spiders in Mirkwood, because spiders don't have teeth; it couldn't have been Gollum, because there were no trees around... I think I have said quite enough)
