In dentistry, "mesial" describes the surface of a tooth that faces the front of your mouth, toward the center line between your two front teeth. Every tooth has multiple surfaces, and the mesial surface is important for how your teeth fit together and work when you bite and chew.
Other tooth surfaces include:
Understanding these surfaces helps you follow dental care instructions, understand fillings, crowns, and clean your teeth more effectively. It also helps your dentist explain treatment plans more clearly.
If you have questions about mesial surfaces, other parts of your teeth, or any dental concerns, contact Dr. Mazahreh at Sherbourne Dental Associates by calling (416) 929-6707. We are located at 105-600 Sherbourne Street in Toronto, ON.
