SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the concept of "whistle tooth," a technique where individuals produce a sharp whistle sound on every "s" sound while speaking. Participants mention that achieving this effect may require specific dental modifications, such as wooden teeth, and highlight the importance of mastering tongue whistling techniques. Dr. Turbyfill's observations indicate that dental treatments can inadvertently cause whistling sounds, which some may find annoying. The conversation includes practical steps for learning to whistle with the tongue and incorporating it into speech.

Hi,
I was hoping to train myself to become a whistle tooth. This is where you can talk with a sharp whistle on every "s" sound. I think this requires wooden teeth. Does anyone know anything on the subject?

Thanks all!

I only know that 2 of my brothers do it when they want to tease me, cause they know that I like it but I can't do it.
 
I can't even whistle normally. :frown:

It's an annoying speech impediment. Why on Earth would you want to sound annoying?

Dr. Turbyfill is listening not for his patients’ dramatic flair, but for their s’s. The letter’s normal hiss can turn into a distracting whistle as an unexpected and unhappy result of any dental treatment that alters the contour or position of the front teeth.
