The gag reflex is the body's response to get rid of foreign bodies that could theoretically cause blockage of the airways and lead to death. However, sometimes this unconditional response can become an obstacle to some manipulations, for example, in the treatment of teeth.
What is a gag reflex?
Vomiting is familiar to every person as the involuntary ejection of food from the stomach. This is a complex motor act in which the smooth muscles of the stomach and small intestine take part. The gag reflex is regulated by the structures of the brain. It is there, in the medulla oblongata, that the so-called vomiting center is located. It is activated by impulses from visual, gustatory and olfactory analyzers.
The gag reflex is a kind of protective reaction of the body, which is inherent not only in adults, but also in children. In children due to underdevelopment digestive system this phenomenon is more common, so vomiting may not always indicate a disease.
The situation is quite different with adult patients. If an increased gag reflex to common stimuli appears, you should consult a specialist, because this symptom can be a manifestation of a serious illness.
Vomit usually consists of undigested pieces of food. Also there may be gastric juice, mucus, and sometimes blood.
Vomiting in itself is a symptom that should start to worry about the state of health. In some cases, self-medication can also help in this situation. However, if any impurities appear in the vomit, especially mucus and blood, then you should immediately contact a specialist.
What is it for?
The gag reflex is necessary for a person during infancy. The fact is that the newborn still does not know how to chew, much less swallow. Therefore, if there is a threat that food will get stuck in the esophagus, its evacuation is activated. In this case, the baby simply sticks out the tongue. With the maturation of a person, it is no longer so easy to cause this reflex.
What diseases can cause the appearance of a gag reflex
Due to the fact that vomiting is a very important symptom, the need to establish what stimulates its appearance comes to the fore. There are several types of gag reflex:
- Central origin. The vomiting center is located in the brain, so a symptom may appear with an increase in intracranial pressure, a hypertensive crisis, epilepsy, etc.;
- Psychogenic. Appears in response to a taste, visual or olfactory stimulus;
- Toxic. In case of alcohol poisoning, certain drugs, as well as some metabolic disorders;
- Visceral. With irritation of the digestive system;
- Functional.
The appearance of vomiting is not specific to any time of day. However, do not forget that the cause of the gag reflex in the morning can be not only intoxication, but also pregnancy.
Factors stimulating the appearance of the gag reflex
Gagging may occur due to irritation of the root of the tongue and the back of the throat. In this regard, the evacuation of the contents of the stomach may appear not only in connection with any diseases. Even such mundane things as brushing your teeth or dental procedures can stimulate the appearance of vomiting.
Sometimes a gag reflex can occur when smoking. This may be due to intoxication of the body, because tobacco smoke consists of substances harmful to the body. chemical compounds. They can accumulate in the smoker's body, leading to vomiting. In addition, smoking causes spasm of small vessels, which can provoke a hypertensive crisis, which means that there is a risk of vomiting of central origin.
During dental procedures
Some people have a gag reflex when brushing their teeth. This may occur due to the immunity of the body to any component of the toothpaste: taste or smell. Also, the cause may be the mechanical impact of the brush.
If vomiting occurs during brushing your teeth, then you need to check whether the procedure is performed correctly. You can consult your dentist about this. 
Sometimes the gag reflex may begin to disturb the patient during certain dental procedures. Most often, discomfort appears on psychological reasons: lack of a sense of security or fear of doctors. In this regard, it is recommended to mentally prepare in advance for a visit to the dentist.
In order to make it easier to relax, you can take sedative infusions or herbs on the eve of the visit. in a good way to distract the patient from unpleasant thoughts during the procedure is a TV or music. Of course, it is worth remembering that The best way calming the patient lies in the benevolence of the specialist himself.
Another method of helping a patient with an increased gag reflex during dental treatment is the use of local anesthetics. Additionally, application tools can be used. They need to lubricate the sensitive tissues of the oral cavity: the root of the tongue and the back wall of the pharynx.
If the patient has difficulty with dental treatment due to the gag reflex, then the doctor must carefully monitor the position of the patient in the chair. The fact is that in the prone position, saliva, accumulating at the root of the tongue, can irritate it and this can lead to vomiting. Therefore, it is very important to remove accumulated saliva in a timely manner.

This phenomenon is controlled by the vomiting center, which is located in the fourth ventricle. medulla oblongata. The activation of this center occurs through:
- visual;
- olfactory;
- taste buds.
Scientists consider the emergence of a gag reflex as a defensive function of the body. It is present in both adults and young children.
- Vomiting in a child can often occur due to the unformed structure of the digestive tract. Not always regurgitation in a baby indicates the development of the disease. If the process occurs once, the crumbs are not bothered by other symptoms, then there is no particular cause for concern.
- When regurgitation of gastric contents occurs in an adult, this often indicates the development of the disease. When in the vomit, in addition to food residues, there are traces of blood, mucus or other pathological inclusions, this is considered a serious reason to contact a general practitioner or infectious disease specialist.
Causes of an increased gag reflex at a dentist appointment
A strong gag reflex during dental treatment may occur due to mechanical irritation of the walls of the pharynx and the root of the tongue, which is not a sign of any serious disease.
Ordinary procedures or manipulations performed by a dentist can become an incentive for nausea:
- examination of wisdom teeth - when examining the lower “eights”, there is a high probability that the doctor touches the trigger zones, after which the patient may say that he is sick;
- treatment without water cooling - when preparing teeth, a lot of sawdust is formed if the handpiece does not have a liquid supply. A large number of dust prevents the patient from fully breathing and can stimulate vomiting;
- work without saliva ejector - if the patient has a tendency to bouts of vomiting during dental treatment, then the accumulation of a large amount of saliva and water in the mouth can cause it;
- Impressions are the most common cause of the gag reflex. Before carrying out orthopedic treatment, the doctor must obtain a negative reflection of the teeth, which is done using a special spoon and impression mass.
How to remove the gag reflex during dental treatment?
There are certain effective methods for treating teeth with an increased gag reflex. Often vomiting occurs due to severe stress and fear of medical manipulations. If self-hypnosis doesn't work, try the following:
- sedative collection - doctors advise drinking on the eve of the upcoming intervention a decoction of herbs that have a calming effect (St. John's wort, chamomile, valerian, mint);
- sedatives - the use of medications in the evening and on the day of the upcoming treatment will help reduce anxiety (Afobazol, Novopassit, Valerian).
Taking medications will help reduce the manifestations of the gag reflex:
- Cerucal is a remedy that eliminates nausea. It should be consumed 3-4 times a day before the planned treatment.
- Dramina - drugs that help with the symptoms of motion sickness, are also suitable for combating increased bouts of vomiting.
- Motilium plus Metoclopramide - combined use of two drugs for 4-6 days at a low dosage.
The dentist will help to eliminate the attack of nausea during the treatment process. Sanitation of the oral cavity in such patients is carried out in a sitting position in order to prevent excessive ingress of saliva and fluid into the throat.
In addition, an anesthetic spray is often used to desensitize the oropharynx and reduce the severity of the reflex. Many people advise chewing mint gum, which will change the susceptibility to irritants and make it easier to transfer the treatment.
A pronounced gag reflex is not a reason to refuse dental treatment. Before starting the procedure, you should tell the doctor about the problem and discuss options for eliminating the attack.

The reflex reaction of the body to the appearance of foreign objects in the mouth is quite natural and is not a pathology. In many ways, this process is associated with the psychological mood of a person, his sensitivity to smells and tastes, the lability of the psyche in good sense this expression. It has been proven in practice that the gag reflex is significantly reduced if the patient is distracted during the procedures, his attention is switched to something else.
When a person prepares for an appointment with a dentist, he himself increases the possible stress in advance, “winds” himself in his thoughts, prepares for the picture of behavior and reaction already presented to him. And this greatly complicates the whole situation.
Reduce stress and nervousness
Doctors strongly advise patients with an increased gag reflex to prepare for admission, take a sedative infusion or herbal decoction, a sedative tablet (Afobazole, Novopassit) at night and in the morning on the day of admission. It is necessary to distract yourself from negative thoughts, not to imagine how unsuccessful and unpleasant the visit to the dentist will be, and even more so to shame yourself in advance. It is good if the patient first consults a doctor, talks to him, talks about his problem in the process of dental treatment. The sincerity and friendliness of a doctor can greatly reduce a person's stress and fear of the necessary procedures.
Medical preparations
There are a number of tools that help the patient cope with an increased gag reflex during medical manipulations. Many of them are used in other areas of medicine. Adaptol is a drug that should be taken 2 tablets in the evening and in the morning on the day of the visit to the doctor. Cerucal is a remedy for taking 3-4 times 1 tablet a day on the eve of a visit to the doctor and immediately before taking it. Another treatment regimen for the gag reflex: 4-5 days before taking Motilium + Cerucal tablets, take half the dose from the one indicated in the instructions. For the day and on the day of admission - the full dose. In general, any pills for motion sickness in transport can be used in this situation. Many patients manage to do without medical preparation already on the 2nd or 3rd visit to the doctor, which once again proves the psychological factor in the occurrence of the gag reflex.
Methods of treatment and additional means
The dentist can also help the patient and make the procedure of dental intervention easier for him. This is achieved by the use of application anesthesia (lubrication of the mucous membrane with an anesthesin gel or treatment with lidocaine spray), while the sensitivity of the tissues of the oral cavity decreases.
In addition, the position of the patient at the time of treatment is important. When lying down, saliva accumulates in the region of the root of the tongue and irritates it, causing vomiting, so these patients are best treated in a sitting position. The help of an assistant who constantly removes saliva from the oral cavity with a saliva ejector is mandatory. When treating teeth in the lower jaw, it is better to perform conduction anesthesia, in which numbness extends not only to the mucous membrane of the cheek, gums, lower lip, but also to part of the tongue. In the treatment of upper teeth, a gag reflex often occurs when the instruments touch the hard or soft palate, so it is better to anesthetize it.
If all of the above measures fail, sedative preparation with nitrous oxide vapor is recommended, in which the patient remains conscious all the time (this distinguishes this method from general anesthesia), his excitability, nervousness decreases, reflexes decrease, including emetic.
Of course, it is not so easy to immediately remove such an unpleasant reflex reaction of the body as vomiting when foreign objects enter the oral cavity. But still possible. The psychological factor in such cases is more than 50% of all causes, so it is important to find your doctor. The first few visits may take place under medical preparation, the need for which will eventually disappear by itself. If the patient is salivating profusely, he may be advised to rinse his mouth with soda or saline before taking. Strong mint-flavored lozenges have a distracting effect, but their effect continues. a short time. You can try to rinse your mouth with a strong mint or eucalyptus flavor during the treatment itself.
Dental treatment is necessary and there is no need to be embarrassed by the gag reflex. Explain the problem to the doctor in advance, discuss possible schemes for preparing for treatment and the technique itself. It may take a little more time and effort for the whole procedure, both on the part of the doctor and the patient. positive attitude and confidence in success is one of the main factors in achieving positive results!

First you need to determine, when exposed to which point of the tongue, vomiting begins. Try to take a toothbrush and slowly brush it over your tongue. Remember at what point the reflex "wakes up". You need to train this point. To do this, massage this point with a toothbrush for several days. The more often and longer you do this, the faster immunity to such influences will develop.

The best solution to the issue is the creation and formation of the alveolar process of the desired shape in an operative way, since this reduces the time during which the functions of the oral organs are impaired. From a medical point of view, this approach is the most appropriate. However, patients do not always agree to a second operation after the extraction of teeth, therefore, in these cases, a soft plastic lining is used.
