I am a dental hygienist and have taken hundreds of impressions as well as placing fluoride trays into mouths.
I have never been bitten, but one child did puke.
The assistant/hygienist should have explained to you what was going to happen. Also, if you ever have to ho through having impressions done again, try breathing through your nose. Also, if the assistant/hygienist places mixes the impression material with warmer water instead of cooler, the impression material will harden quickly.
Gagging is a reflex many people can’t help.
Don’t worry about it. You didn’t do it on purpose.
