Your gag reflex is a good thing - in most cases. The natural reaction to a foreign object or a piece of food that is too big to swallow safely can keep you from choking. Some people, however, have an over sensitive gag reflex which can cause complications during a dental exam or even a teeth cleaning. If you are aware of the problem, talk to your dentist ahead of time, there are ways to control the gag reflex so that your dental experience can proceed without consequence.
