Description
Dental wax is a substance that is most often made from paraffin, beeswax, or carnauba wax. It is solid at room temperature but softens from the warmth of your hands. It sticks to sharp surfaces inside your mouth and creates a smooth surface. Dental waxs primary use is to protect the mouths sensitive areas such as the gums, lips, and cheeks lining. It is usually transparent and unnoticeable when used. While the wax is generally flavorless, some varieties have added flavors like mint, cherry, or bubble gum.
