Proximal,mesial,and distal are terms that describe surfaces of teeth that face a neighboring tooth;they also can be thought of as "in-between" surfaces.Proximal is the more general term for this type of surface.More specifically,a mesial surface is the proximal surface of a tooth closest to the midline;distal describes the proximal surface farthest from the midline.Facial surfaces are NOT proximal surfaces.Facial surfaces are more specifically known as labial (lip)surfaces on anterior teeth or buccal surfaces on posterior teeth.
