Relating to both the cheek (buccal) side and the gum (gingival) tissues of the mouth.
Compound of bucco- (from Latin bucca, cheek) and gingival (from Latin gingiva, gum), describing the combined region of cheek and gum.
The buccogingival margin is where gum disease often starts—when you don't floss that area between tooth and gum, bacteria throw a party and your gums pay the price.
