Decay near wisdom tooth
I am having decay near wisdom tooth which is also spreading to tooth beside it. Doctor has suggested removal of wisdom tooth. I don't have problem with bearing pain during the process but In have gag reflex problem. Because of this I tend to avoid this treatment. When instrument is inserted deep towards wisdom tooth there is immediate gag reflex & I have difficulty breathing. Us there a way to deal with this problem. I had done root canal for tooth on other side a year ago and I had very bad experience because of this problem. I used to feel very dry and difficult to breath. I want to know if any alternative procedures are available to combat this.
Thanks.

You can get the treatment done under General Anaesthesia too, but you can try some breathing exercises which reduses the gag reflex.
When local Anaesthesia is given , the reflex reduces to some extent.
There are many breathing techniques to overcome gag.
