| | Acupuncture may not be for everyone, and the authors point out that it is "one of a range of treatment options that can be employed in an effort to control gagging." These include relaxation techniques, sedation and even hypnosis. | | | In a study of 1 0 patients whose gagging kept them out of the dentist's chair, investigators found that giving them acupuncture allowed the patients to get through procedures ranging from tooth extraction to tongue biopsy. | | | Exactly how acupuncture might ease the gag reflex is unclear. |
