Sensitive gag reflex at the dentist's?!


Question: Sensitive gag reflex at the dentist's!?
Does anyone have a really sensitive gag reflex when the dentist is doing stuff in your mouth!? I've always been like that where if the dentist start using their fingers or the gadgets that they use and twirl it around my tongue it makes me want to gag so bad! I always have a hard time doing a procedure because I keep wanting to throw up so the dentist keep having to stop every 10 seconds!. So a simple procedure that takes 20 minutes ends up taking an hour and 20 minutes because I keep having to stop!. I just can't take it!. I beg them to put me to sleep but of course they wouldn't because it's so bad for me!. I don't actually end up gagging!.!.!.!.it's just a feeling that I want to gag!.

Anyone have had this similar experience!? Anyone know how to relieve this suffering!? thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I actually DO gag at the dentist!.!.!.and a lot!. It was so bad that I couldn't even get x-rays done!. What my dentist did was numb my mouth up with a topical gel that tasted like cherry!. She let me put it in my mouth myself, and told me to swab it as far back as I could (which caused me to gag, blah), then on the sides of my cheek, back and underneath of my tongue!. No gagging! I could get x-rays and everything done!. Only thing is that we kept having to re-apply because it would run out quickly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
