Dental consonant

Dentals are consonants articulated with both the lower and the upper teeth.

Examples:

• English th in this (SAMPA [D]), or English th in thing (SAMPA [T]) are dental fricatives.

• In French, Italian, and Spanish t, d, n, and l are all dental, whereas they're alveolar in English.
