I'm in the process of finally getting some much-needed and extensive dental work done BUT the emetophobia is getting in the way (of course!) because some of the treatments make me gag. So if I gag, my brain immediately thinks I'm going to vomit and I certainly don't want to do that.

So I'm wondering if any of you have difficulty getting the dental work you need because the fear of vomiting/gagging gets in the way... and how do you deal with it?

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
