Résumé
Gagging presents a clinical challenge to the dentist in all aspects of treatment starting from diagnostic procedures to active treatment. There is no single cause associated with gagging. For successful management, it is very important to find the cause and plan the treatment accordingly. This article describes a simple step-by-step technique for eliminating the gag reflex in an edentulous patient. This simple approach helped the patient to relax and eliminate the phobia of dental treatment. It also enhanced the patient's ability to continue the dental procedure.
