Heya,
  I’m Shannon, I’m 13, and obviously I’m a TOF! . And I was just wondering does anyone else gag and nearly throw up when they do their teeth?. It’s basically only just started happening, and I’m not that worried, but I was just wondering does it happen to other TOFs to?.
Thanks Shannon

I don’t but when I first joined secondary school I had to have a gum shield for hockey. Everytime it went in I nearly vomited an gagged. It really hurts. I have never had the problem with brushing my teeth though.

Thanks for the reply, I’ve never had a gum shield but I hope it gets better for you.

Thanks Shannon

I hate toothbrushing too, especially seeing other people doing it. I attribute it to all the spitting and coughing stuff up due to TOF chest problems. It’s more a generalised spitting aversion in my case which toothbrushing’s been dragged into!
