Brushing my teeth can make me gag too. I often can't use toothpaste because of it. A couple years ago I couldn't brush my teeth at all for a few months because every single time I put a toothbrush into my mouth I would gag to the point I would throw up. But then this got better on its own.

Hmm ...
I have been brushing my teeth in the kitchen for several reasons and for several decades;

One,
When the toilet flushes it aerosolizes some of what's in the bowl & I don't want my toothbrush in the same room as that mist.

Two
The cat litter boxes are in the bathroom & they make dust and I don't want my toothbrush in the same room as that

Three
Bathroom is an interior room with zero sunlight reaching it & I don't want to leave my damp toothbrush sitting in a lightless cave

Four
The kitchen counter is noticeably higher than the bathroom counter
& I have a couple different back issues going on

:arrow: Ya know, I've not measured the height of either counter before, let's go find out ...
Bathroom counter height: about 30.75 inches, 80.5cm
Kitchen counter height: about 36.5 inches, 92.5cm
