Help I have a really bad/good gag reflex any ideas how not to embarrass myself at the dentists?

Best Tip

I sympathise with you cos I have same problem. Dentist told me that the main thing to do is to keep breathing deeply and that way you cannot be sick. Haven't tried it yet but do hope it works as have an appointment myself soon. Good Luck.

Your dentist shouldn't be abusing you in this way. The embarrassment should be all his by forcing you to deepthroat him. Report him immediately.
Breathe through your nose, I too have this problem and just keep repeating to my self, breathe through you nose.
grinning stops the gagging reflex - i have the same problem howver luckily i have a mouth big enough i can do a wide grin and still have enough room for the dentist! (well just his mirror things but you know what i mean) . the grinning position causes the muscles used to gag relax or something! he taught me it coz i was making him feel sick when i gagged!!!
Just tell your dentist and s/he'll work at a pace that youre comfortable with. I puked on my dentist last year, now THATS embarressing!!
Take a muscle relaxer before you go and let the dentist know or ask for gas at his office. The gas will relax you.
