Most of the wax falls off if brushing well, you should remove it as behind it plaque will build up and you'll get cavities
You'll find you wont need as much after you've had them on for a while
And try not putting on overnight to save the wax- don't move your mouth that much overnight anyway do you?
You could always ring your dentist and asthma to post you some wax until your next visit?Don't think you can buy it in the shops.
Well aside from the fact that the wax will just break up into little pieces and be all nasty in the toothpaste, no. I mean, if you have a lot in your mouth then you might end up missing some spots when you brush. If you can just try to pull it all out in one piece, or just pull all the pieces out and roll it back up and reuse it.
