Braces?: Are you using dental wax to protect your cheeks from braces and wires? Is so, at least after every meal, you should replace it as wax may have been dislodged or changed its shape during chewing. If the wax is used for other reasons, you may need to ask your dentist exactly what to do.

As necessary: Dental wax will pad up "stickers," sharp areas, until you can get to your Dentist for treatment. Can be changed as often as necessary. Dental wax does not "cure" anything. If you have a broken tooth, cavity, annoying part of a brace, you need to see a Professional ASAP.
