In dentistry, relating to both the buccal (cheek-side) and cervical (neck-of-tooth) aspects of a tooth surface.
Combination of bucco- (from Latin bucca, cheek) and cervical (from Latin cervix, neck), describing the region of teeth near the gum line on the cheek-facing side.
Cavities are super common in the buccocervical area of teeth because toothbrushes often miss the tiny space where the tooth meets the gum—it's a cavity hotspot dentists always watch carefully.
