Any advice on teeth brushing to keep me from throwing up?

Use smaller brush: Try using a smaller headed toothbrush since this shouldn't impinge on your soft palate as much. If this works, you might then switch to a sonic toothbrush with a small head. You don't have to move this brush back and forth to get the teeth clean: the bristles vibrate to clean the teeth.

Rinse: Frequent rinses will clear you mouth and help in preventing gagging. Also try using a little less toothpaste. Avoid touching too much palatal tissue and the sides of your tongue if possible.
