OK, brushing teeth has always been an adventure as is going to the dentist. I have a very, very strong gag reflex. By using non-flouride paste the gagging finally got under control. However, now in pregnancy it is so bad. I mean I throw up trying to brush my teeth most days. It is getting worse. Dry brushing helps as does no paste or just a bit of baking soda.
Problem is I still can't gargle or even rinse out my mouth properly: can only do the front teeth well. I have to concentrate unbelievably hard to force myself to not throw up and it is exhausting now. I don't want to end up with bad teeth now.
Any one similar? Any advice?
My husband heard of a sonic? or ionic? brush from japan that requires no paste. Any one have this thing?

hence the double post).
