Buccal

Buccal Nepean

During a dental examination at our practice, we follow a meticulous process to assess the condition of your teeth and gums, which includes documenting any existing fillings and identifying areas where cavities require attention. Think of it as creating a unique fingerprint for your mouth.

As we carefully inspect every aspect of your oral health, you may hear us use terminology that seems unfamiliar, almost like a different language. One term you might encounter is "buccal." For example, when we mention that a tooth requires a buccal, it means that a specific surface of the tooth needs a buccal filling.

But what does "buccal" actually mean? It refers to the surface of the tooth that is located opposite the cheek.
