Hello
first of all tell the dentist about your fear and they will understand and help you. They will make it easier for you. If they do not know they cannot help. Take long deep breaths and think of something nice like a holiday or a favourite food or movie as you are having it done. Relax and stay calm and just breath slowly. Fear can be managed and controlled. Also just before you go into the dentists to have it done maybe listen to your favourite music which will help keep you calm and pass the time until you go into the room to get it done. It does not hurt and you are gagging because you are so nervous and wound up. So if you relax and take Long deep breaths the gagging feeling will go away.
Hope that helps and good luck

relax and stop thinking about what they're doing
