You have a hypersensitive gag reflex. This is common with people who have had to go without their dentures for a period of time.
Have you spoken to your dentist?
If you can go to a speech therapist, they may be able to assist you in decreasing this.
One way you might try it yourself is to take a spoon, gently walk it back on your tongue until you just start to feel the gag feeling start, then remove the spoon.
Do this for several days just to that spot. If it seems to ease up, go a little bit farther until a new spot is found.
This will take time and patience and not the most pleasant experience but it is free.
You may also, just attempt to put your false teeth ,in say just for 1 minute , if you can stand that, then take them out. Do this on and off during the day. If after 2 days you can tolerate the 1 minute increase it to 2 minutes.
Continues this, increasing it by one minute at a time,after you have reached a new tolerated amount of time.
See how it goes, I would not jump into eating with the teeth just yet, but if you can wear them for 10 minutes, I would try a small sip of liquid.
Remember if you have not had your teeth in for a while, your gums may have shrunk, and the denture may need a liner, you will need at least one visit with the dentist.

Ever looked into partials? That is the way I may have to go myself. The alternative is a screw in my jaw & then a crown on top of the screw. The price tag for that.......$2300. Yes, that is for 1 tooth. YIKES!!!!! My brother in law is only 43. He has had false teeth for a over a year now. If you decide to go that route, which by the way was the cheapest, I suggest that you wear your false teeth all the time & you get some good denture adhesive. Best wishes with your teeth dear. :)

Well there is really no cheap way to fix this problem. You could have implants done but they are not cheap. You would have to make sure that your gums are healthy enough to support the implants. You should look into this if you think that you could afford it. They are a wonderful way to replace missing teeth.
