How to remove dental wax from cavity?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Dentist will do it: Dental wax (or any temporary material) should be left in place. An appointment should have already been set up by now. Trying to pry it out may just make matters worse. Have the tooth looked at ASAP.

Dental wax: See a dentist and have the tooth treated. The dentist will remove the temporary filling and place a stronger, longer lasting restoration

Dental wax: dental wax is not a filling material. If you have an infected hole in a tooth, a cavity, covering it with wax will not cure the infection. Stop trying to play Dentist and go see a real one before you do serious harm to yourself.
