Despite the large number of people who experience anxiety-induced gagging , there is little research on the subject other than gagging in response to dental fears . For many, however, gagging when nervous or anxious can be debilitating. The feeling of gagging or even dry heaves can come on suddenly, with no warning. For some, it interferes with daily life. They are afraid to work, attend social functions, or even be in public because they worry that they will start to gag.
The gag reflex, also called pharyngeal reflex, is an automatic reaction that can be triggered by physiological reasons, such as something touching certain areas of your mouth, or psychological reasons, such as when you smell something rotten. Although it isn’t understood why anxiety triggers the gag reflex, the American Psychological Association indicates that anxiety stimulates the nervous system, which triggers physical reactions to the stress. These reactions might include the gag reflex.
The following tips can help you manage your gagging reflex:
1. Medical and alternative health treatments for anxiety
If you are already receiving treatment, talk to your doctor about your hypersensitive gag reflex and ask for suggestions on how to reduce the feeling. Review your current treatment plan with your doctor so together you can decide if it should be adjusted. If you aren’t currently receiving treatment, make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your anxiety symptoms, including gagging.
There is limited information available on hypnotherapy to reduce anxiety-induced gagging, but it might be worth a try. A report from 2002 indicated hypnotherapy as an effective way to overcome hypersensitive gag reflex. A case study from 2005 found that hypnopuncture, a combination of hypnosis and acupuncture, was successful in treating a patient. Hypnotherapy has also been found helpful to treat phagophobia (a fear of swallowing.)
A study from 2013 found the gag reflex during dental procedures was greatly reduced by the use of acupuncture. Previous studies have found the same results. Another study from 2008 found that applying pressure to a certain spot on the palm reduced the gag reflex. Although these were specifically for dental procedures, talk to a licensed acupuncturist to find out if this might help.
The following tips come from a variety of sources and have not been vetted for effectiveness. However, having a variety of techniques to help stop the gagging might be helpful.
Put salt on your tongue. According to Scott Frey, D.D.S., M.S.D., placing salt on the back of your tongue can help prevent gagging.
Breathe through your nose. The Dental Anxiety Network suggests closing your mouth and taking a deep breath through your nose.
Spray numbing spray on the back of your throat or suck on a tetricane one-percent lollipop to numb the back of the mouth. This is quite effective, according to Eric G. Jackson, D.D.S .
Slightly open your teeth and place your tongue through the opening. This helps to keep your tongue off the roof of your mouth, which can increase the need to gag, according to Joanna Dryer, an anxiety sufferer who has used this method for years. She adds, “Keep your mouth closed and breathe through your nose.”
Make a fist with your left hand. Buzzfeed writer Alex Finnis explains you should tuck your thumb in your fist and squeeze your hand tightly.
It might help to keep track of your triggers. If there are certain situations that are more likely than others to trigger the gag reflex, talk to your therapist about ways to manage your anxiety during these situations. Write down each time you gag and information about what was going on to see if there is a pattern. Keep in mind that the gag reflex is usually strongest in the morning. If you know that a situation is likely to trigger your gag reflex, plan for the activity later in the day, if possible.

One of the biggest complaints that athletes have about wearing mouthguards is that they are uncomfortable. And a lot of times that’s because their mouthguards make them gag.
Gagging of any kind is obviously going to be uncomfortable, and it’s certainly something players don’t want to experience on the field, court or ice.
So, why are their mouthguards making them gag? How does it happen, and is it avoidable?
It’s pretty simple: when a mouthguard makes a player gag, something is clearly wrong with the mouthguard.
A common myth about mouthguards is that they need to completely cover all of the upper teeth. But that is actually false and part of the reason why mouthguards cause gagging.
There are two main ways to avoid gagging from a mouthguard. First, check the cut. Is it too high or too long, causing unwanted material where it is not needed?
In order to keep from gagging, mouthguards must avoid the soft palate — the fleshy, flexible part toward the back of the roof of the mouth. That means your player’s mouthguard must end between the end of the first molar and midway through the second.
Any protective material in the soft palate area is providing no protection from any injury, so no material should enter this area from your mouthguard to avoid any discomfort.
And don’t worry, a mouthguard cut properly actually provides better protection , as too much material towards the molars makes the mouthguard more uncomfortable while providing minimal amounts of additional protection.
The thickness of the material used for the mouthguard is the second factor that leads to gagging.
It’s important to maintain proper thickness for protection but anything beyond that could cause uncomfortable gagging. That material also makes it difficult to open and close the mouth. Mouthguards should fit snug against the upper teeth, without needing to bite or clench.
While this may vary from sport to sport , with some sports requiring more protection than others, all mouthguards should have at least 4mm thickness of material in the important impact zones — the areas in front of the teeth and under the molars.
When material is too thick, it may leave the mouth to far open causing issues with proper breathing and swallowing . And that also affects the gag reflex.
When a mouthguard makes your player gag, there is something wrong with the mouthguard. Make sure the cut and thickness of the material is right for each player’s individual mouth structure.
Helpful summary. Thanks. My 8 year old son gags on conventional mouth guards. Suggested brands? Can a knife and hot water be used to customize a guards fit?
You can certainly trim most boil-and-bites to try and get a better fit. But be careful not to trim any protective areas. The issue is, a boil-and-bite or any stock guard is made on a general scale to try to suit everyone. It sounds as though your son is fairly sensitive and you should look into a custom mouthguard. A custom mouthguard like ours will be made from an impression of the athlete’s teeth. Not only does that give the guard a superior fit, helping with discomfort, but they are also hand cut specifically for that athlete. This will go a long way toward making your son comfortable. Their are multiple options out there when it comes to custom mouthguards, and any custom will be better than a boil-and-bite, but we do have a patented cut design to further eliminate gagging and discomfort.
What is the pricing of your mouth gaurds?
Price depends on the style you need/choose. Simply click the shop link above and you can select by product, sport or use our interactive selection tool to help you.
I’m an mma practitioner but I have a horrible gag reflex with most mouth guards. What do you suggest?
Definitely avoid the Elite style. This is our thickest guard. You will probably want to request the Xtreme cut design as well on your order. The Full Back cut is typically used for MMA but you can request the Xtreme cut. You will also want to note this is because of your gag reflex and we will take extra measures to be sure your Gladiator is comfortable.
I’m getting into boxing but all mouthguards make me gag and I have a terrible gag reflex what mouth guard should I get?
You will certainly want to look into a custom mouthguard and not a boil-and-bite. We would suggest our Pro style and be sure to note on the order that you have a sensitive gag reflex and extra adjustments can be made for that!
I do jiu jitsu and have a small north and an awful, awful gag reflex!! I’ve tried boil and bites and even get the kid size, but I can not stop gagging to even form them. What do you suggest.
I am sorry to hear you have so much trouble with mouthguards. First, a custom mouthguard will be built just for your mouth. So there is no need to worry about “size” since it will be made to fit you! Second, our Gladiator is made with a patented Xtreme cut design to remove material linked to gagging. So this will help you greatly. As far as the best style, we recommend you look at the HP and HP Lite styles. These are our thinnest styles and will help you the most.
