What is Preventive Care?

Preventive care is the act of providing care for your children before a medical problem begins to arise. For example, some preventive care includes vaccinations that are important for your child in their early years of development. Other preventive care procedures include depression screening for young children to determine if they are being affected by something that is causing turmoil in their lives. The importance of preventive care cannot be overstated as it allows parents and medical professionals to find problems before they can turn into bigger ones.
