How do I talk to my dentist?

Can a ventriloquist talk to the dentist while having treatment?

• Answer:

  No. A ventriloquist relies on being able to freely manipulate the tongue while keeping the lips and jaw still. The tongue positions create similar internal shapes that affect the vocal tones (consonants and vowels) that the rest us us normally use for speech. Since the lips, jaw and tongue must be still during dental work, the ventriloquist is left withou any way of speaking
