There goes the neighborhood. One downfall to Yahoo Answers is that it allows questions to be answered by unwitting responders. Many dental web sites use questions about surfaces of a tooth to allow access to the site. Now they will need to change that strategy.

If you are talking about layers....the outer is enamel, the middle is dentin and the hollow inner core is your pulp chamber housing your nerve. If you are talking about the surfaces which you chew with, the back teeth are posterior occlusion and your front teeth are anterior incisors which you sheer/bite with.

the sides touching the adjacent teeth are known as proximal surfaces, specifically mesial and distal surfaces. other surfaces facing lip and cheek is known as labial and buccal. the surfaces facing toungue is known as lingual and that facing palate is known as palatal.
