Article: Poor oral hygiene can cause dry mouth by allowing the build up of bacteria and plaque. In addition, dry mouth itself can increase your risk of cavities and other oral health problems. Make sure to:  See your dentist regularly for check ups and cleanings. Brush your teeth after each meal, and floss regularly. Avoid sugary food and drinks. Over-the-counter (OTC) mouthwashes can help kill bacteria and fight plaque build-up. Use one at least twice a day, but make sure that it is alcohol-free, since alcohol-based formulas may worsen dry mouth. Your dentist may also recommend a prescription-strength fluoride rinse to protect your teeth, and/or a rinse that is specifically meant to treat dry mouth. Chewing or sucking on certain substances can promote saliva production and soothe dry mouth. Sugar-free gums, candies, mints, etc. can help in this way without increasing your chance of developing cavities or other oral health problems. Xylitol, which is often found in sugar-free gums and candies, can cause diarrhea or cramps is consumed in large quantities. Various sprays and other products are available that can supply you with an artificial saliva substitute if you suffer from dry mouth. These are available at most pharmacies. Look for one that contains xylitol, carboxymethylcellulose, or hydroxyethyl cellulose. Sometimes, dry mouth can simply be caused by a dry environment. Many modern homes are very dry, but a cool mist humidifier can replace some moisture into the air and alleviate your symptoms.  You can find cool mist humidifiers at most pharmacies and many department stores. You can use a humidifier any time, but it can be particularly helpful if you use it in your bedroom at night. One of the most common causes of dry mouth is simply breathing through your mouth, which causes more moisture to escape. Sometimes this is habitual, so make a concerted effort to breathe through your nose. If you cannot breathe through your nose, ask your doctor about nasal decongestion or other techniques that can help. Dry mouth can also be associated with dry or cracked lips, which can make the condition more uncomfortable. Regularly applying lip balm, however, will protect your lips. Smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco can affect the amount of saliva your mouth produces. Every time you take a drag on your cigarette, you pull more hot smoke into your mouth. The tar from the cigarette can also irritate or clog your salivary glands.

Problem: Article: Apprenticeship applicants in Kentucky must be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma and pass a drug test. An apprenticeship is required to obtain an electrician license in Kentucky. An apprenticeship provides classroom instruction and paid on-the-job training for aspiring electricians. Most apprenticeship programs take 3 to 5 years to complete, and cost between $400 and $1,000 a year. Most apprentices are paid about 50 percent of the market rate during on-the-job training. Upon completion of an apprenticeship, students are qualified for both construction and maintenance electrical work. There are several options for apprenticeship programs in Kentucky.  Choose a union apprenticeship program. Electrical unions like the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) offer apprenticeship programs. Each union sponsors aspiring electricians through its apprenticeship program, and then requires membership in the union upon completion of the program. Each union provides career placement assistance and continuing education opportunities. Union apprenticeships are offered throughout Kentucky. Select a state sponsored apprenticeship. Kentucky offers several state sponsored apprenticeship opportunities. Often funded by workforce development initiatives, the state sponsored programs provide classroom and on-the-job training. Participation in a state sponsored program may require you to relocate to the apprenticeship site in Kentucky.  Candidates may apply for state sponsored apprenticeships in Kentucky through the Joint Apprentice Training Program, headquartered in Louisville. Consider an online electrician program. Online apprenticeship programs provide the opportunity for students to complete classroom training online. The online programs match students with local apprenticeship programs for on-the-job training. Ensure the online electrician program is accredited by the Kentucky Apprenticeship Council or the training hours may not be applicable to licensure.
