A dental consonant is a consonant articulated with the tongue against the upper teeth, such as /t/, /d/, /n/, and /l/ in some languages. Dentals are primarily distinguished from sounds in which contact is made with the tongue and the gum ridge, as in English (see Alveolar consonant), due to the acoustic similarity of the sounds and the fact that in the Roman alphabet they are generally written using the same symbols (t, d, n, and so on).
In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the diacritic for dental consonant is U+032A ◌̪ COMBINING BRIDGE BELOW.
For many languages, such as Albanian, Irish or Russian, velarization is generally associated with more dental articulations of coronal consonants so that velarized consonants (such as Albanian /ɫ/) tend to be dental or denti-alveolar, whereas non-velarized consonants tend to be retracted to an alveolar position.
Sanskrit, Hindi and all other Indic languages have an entire set of dental stops that occur phonemically as voiced and voiceless, and with or without aspiration. The nasal /n/ also exists in these languages, but is quite alveolar and apical in articulation. To the Indian speaker, the alveolar /t/ and /d/ of English sound more like the corresponding retroflex consonants of his own language than like the dentals.

Learn to use the International Phonetic Alphabet to help you pronounce other languages. In this second lesson I introduce consonants and their features, including place of articulation, manner of articulation and voicing. -- Some places of articulation -- bilabial: upper lips against lower lips labiodental: upper teeth against lower lips dental: tongue against upper teeth alveolar: tongue against upper gums (alveolar ridge) postalveolar: tongue on slope between gums and roof of mouth palatal: tongue pointing towards roof of mouth (palate) velar: back of tongue against soft palate (velum) glottal: with vocal folds -- Some manners of articulation -- nasal: airflow diverted through nose stop (plosive): airflow momentarily cut off fricative: restricted airflow approximant: lightly restricted...
Among the most difficult PDE consonants for German learners is the "TH", phonetically speaking, the dental fricatives. Using close up videos, Prof. Handke demonstrates how German learners can practice the dental fricatives and come to grips with this highly prominent German inventorial problem.
A voiced labio-dental fricative produced in three vowel environments.
A voiceless dental fricative produced in three vowel environments.
A voiceless labio-dental fricative produced in three vowel environments.
The /θ/ is a sound from the ‘Consonants Pairs’ group and it is called the ‘Voiceless dental fricative’. This means that you create fiction between the tongue and top teeth. The /θ/ sound is made through the mouth and it is Unvoiced which means that you don't use your vocal chords to make the sound. It is defined by position of your tongue and teeth and it is a fricative, which is a sound that is produced by high pressure air flow between a narrow space in the mouth. In this case it is between the tip of the tongue and the top teeth. To produce the sound you have to stick out your tongue a little. This can feel very unnatural for some people who are not used to it. But i is essential to produce the sound correctly. Rest your top teeth on your tongue and force air out between your teeth . B...
Consonants can be classified according to the place within the mouth that they are articulated. Velar consonants are pronounced with the back of the tongue touching the soft palate. Examples of velar consontants in English include "k" as in "keep", and "g" as in "good". Palatal consonants are pronounced with the tongue touching the hard palate. Examples of palatal consonants in English include "ch" as in "change" and "j" as in "job". Retroflex consonants are pronounced with the tongue curled slightly backward and touching the front portion of the hard palate. There are no retroflex consonants in English. As an example, try pronouncing the "t" in "tip", yet curl your tongue backward. Dental consonants are pronounced with the tip of the tongue touching the back of the upper front teeth. Exa...

This video explains thoroughly when the r is pronounced like a guttural r and when it is spoken like a reduced a sound or unstressed e sound.
This video improves the pronunciation of the guttural r and provides a lot of example words with the r after consonants and grouped consonants.
