Isn’t social media great? Dr. Roger Nettune, Dr. Kenneth Banasiak and our team love connecting with our patients online, whether it’s by sharing news on our blog or communicating ideas on our interactive Facebook fan page. For social media to work, conversation is vital, and that’s why we invite you to join in and tell us what’s on your mind.

Are you wondering what Invisalign treatment is really like, and what effect it will have on your day-to-day activities? Will it slur your speech? Will people know you’re in treatment? You’re not alone in your concerns! Drs. Roger Nettune, Kenneth Banasiak and our team thought we’d share this list of questions and answers for anyone pondering Invisalign treatment at Banasiak & Nettune Orthodontic Associates.

Sleep Apnea is a condition in which breathing stops periodically during sleep, as many as 20-30 times per hour. (“Apnea” is the Greek word for “without breath.”) If you suffer from sleep apnea, each time your breathing stops, the resulting lack of oxygen alerts your brain, which temporarily wakes you up to restart proper breathing.

However, the constant wake-sleep-wake-sleep cycle precludes the deep sleep that refreshes the body, and sufferers are frequently drowsy during the day. What are the signs of sleep apnea? The following symptoms can indicate the presence of sleep apnea. -Insomnia […]
