Congrats on your new dentures! I know, you don't feel like celebrating them right now. What you are going through with the gagging is so very normal. Your tongue has to get used to this awkward plastic thing in your mouth...it's not an easy road, I'm sorry to say.

I have a very huge gag response...it took me weeks to get used to having mine in. All I could do was wear them for as long as possible each day then take them out again. Every couple of days I found I was able to wear them a little bit longer. Within a couple of months, and after many alignments, I was finally able to wear them all day until I went to bed.

As far as your triggering goes, I have no words of wisdom for you. I'm sorry it's doing that and I pray that it stops real soon for you.

Take good care and best of luck getting used to the new teeth!

Hugsssss
