Smooth surface caries is on a surface that does not have pits, fissures. Usually on the front, back, or side of the tooth as opposed to the top where there are hills and valleys so to say. If the caries is on the crown part of the tooth it started on the enamel, but may have progressed down to the dentin which is the next surface under the enamel.
