Dentals
A
dental sound occurs when there is contact (or near contact) between the teeth
and another articulator. For example in Spanish and most Romance languages the
/t/ and /d/ sounds are produced by pressing the tip of the tongue against the
top teeth. If the articulation is between the lip and the teeth, we call that a
labiodental sound.
