Long Description
Mouth-related terms refer to the vocabulary used to identify specific areas, directions, and parts of the oral cavity. These terms help dental professionals communicate clearly when diagnosing and treating patients.
Common terms include lingual (tongue side), buccal (cheek side), labial (lip side), palatal (roof of the mouth), and occlusal (chewing surface). These anatomical directions help explain tooth positioning and oral structure.
Understanding mouth-related terminology can help patients feel more informed and comfortable during dental visits. It also plays a key role in interpreting dental charts, treatment plans, and surgical procedures.
