Résumé
Gagging poses a clinical difficulty to the dentist in all facets of therapy, from diagnostic techniques to active treatment. Various treatment methods to manage the gagging include behavioral techniques, acupressure, acupuncture, hypnosis, systemic desensitization, and pharmacological techniques. This article presents a straightforward method for getting rid of the gag reflex using an eye massager. Eye massagers can help reduce the stress and anxiety associated with dental procedures by providing an effective alternative to traditional methods. This technique can be a valuable aid in making short dental procedures more comfortable and successful.
