Answers:
Here is what honestly works in the dentist chair. If you start to gag due to X-ray film in the back of your mouth. Lift both of your feet off the chair and hold them up a few inches off the chair. It is next to impossible to gag if your abdominal muslces are contracted.
Somehow I don't think you are worried about what to do at your next teeth cleaning.
Moving on. Breathing through your nose helps.....trying not to think about gagging helps.
Bottom line though is that the gag reflex is essential and shouldn't be something that you try to suppress often.
It is an automatic reaction that is hard to control.
