in the haggadah we say we deal with a rashah by knocking out his tooth. haman was surely a rashah so why didn’t mordechai knock out his tooth? The answer is that when achashveirosh sent out 2 armies one with mordechai and one with haman. haman ran out of food so he begged mordechai for food and mordechai made haman a slave and we learned in shemos one of the ways to free an eved is knocking out his tooth so mordechai didn’t knock haman’s tooth out so that haman shouldn’t go free :0)
