I know what I am letting myself in for, but recently my gag reflex has got a lot worse. I'm now struggling to brush the rear half of my tongue in the mornings without retching frown

Why is this, and how can I fix it.

No, I haven't been throat-fked or any thing. smile

Change your toothbrush for a smaller head. You clearly can't handle a large head!

Try a smaller, less intrusive brush head. The gag reflex is set off by the thing that's hangs down at the back of the throat. Using a smaller brush you have a better chance of avoiding it.

why do you brush your tongue...this is american hypochondria gone mad....I dont know of anyone ..friend or patient who does this. If you must, go down lateral borders which is usually less sensitive. Sit upfight and breathe thru your nose. If that doesnt work ...dont do it !

My doc advised against tongue brushing.

He also took out my tonsils and Uvula.

6. Beware the gag reflex in the morning. Some people report that they're more likely to gag earlier in the day. Try to schedule the gag-inducing activity for the late afternoon or evening instead.
