Question:

What can i do to stop the gaging?

when i go to the dentist, i go through the biggest mission to get a Xray done because i cant stick those stupid little things in my mouth. I get so nausea that my eyes water and i feel like throwing up. There was a time i partically did..
they num the root of my mouth and put numing cream in my tongue and that doesnt even help. Going to the dentist for me is a nightmare..
What do you think i should do?? What can i do to make that go away?


Answers:

A very common problem. Try putting a little dash of salt under your tongue right before they put the little film in your mouth. Imagine it's your favorite piece of candy. Concentrate on breathing trough your nose. Lean forward a little. Take turns lifting your feet. First the left, then the right, then the left... Think of something more pleasant. And don't worry about being embarrassed. We have to deal with this every day. It's a very normal reaction. If you are a smoker, quitting can help a lot. Heavy smokers tend to gag even easier.
