How do you put on dental wax?

Simply: I am assuming the so called 'dental wax' is for braces? If so, the soft clear dental wax can be rolled into a small ball and placed directly on the part of the braces that is sharp or poking. Cover completely and call your orthodontist immediately to get the poking/sharp part fixed.

Soft and dry: Roll a pea-sized portion of wax between thumb-fingers to warm ; soften the wax. Dry the "sticker" w kleenex or small piece of gauze. Put wax over the "sticker" and tuck it in all around the part of the braces that's sticking out, then call your orthodontist. Dental wax does not cure cavities, so pushing it ion hole in tooth is waste of time...Call your dentist.
