I vomit and its sometimes violent dry heaves. I tried diffrent tootpast but nothing seems to work. Thanks and keep up the great work. Pre-rinsing with a bit of salt water may help reduce your gag reflex and allow you to brush more often. Often times brushing with ice water proves helpful as well.
Many people gag when they brush first thing in the morning.
You may wish to rinse with a mouthwash, which does not contain much alcohol, such as Biotene or Peroxyl, first thing in the morning and then brush a little later on. You may also consider avoiding the areas that stimulate your gag reflex, such as the back of the tongue, until later in the day.
