Fold your left thumb into your palm, then make a fist and squeeze your thumb. At least that what I was told >.>

I've been doing this at every dental appointment that requires them to do X-rays where they shove that thing in the back of your mouth to bite down on. That part always makes me gag but the thumb trick works most of the time even knowing it's a placebo effect
