It’s important to take steps to keep your child healthy before they’re ever sick. When you utilize preventive care, you’re ensuring that your child stays safe from sicknesses and that they don’t have to miss important events or school. Well-child visits help ensure that your child is protected and that any severe issues are caught at an early stage. Dr. Erika Vicente and Dr. Janina Czartolomna at Horizon Pediatrics and Primary Care in Thornton, Longmont, and Denver, CO, can explain how well-child visits with your pediatrician can benefit you and your child.
How Well-Child Visits Can Help Your Child
Everyone knows that if your child is sick, it’s important to visit our pediatrician in Thornton, Longmont, and Denver, CO, as soon as possible for care. You may not realize that it’s equally important to visit their pediatrician when they are seemingly healthy. Well-child visits ensure that there are no complications that your child might be dealing with undetected and that all issues are properly treated as soon as possible.
Well-child visits also give you a space to ensure that your child is up to date on all vaccinations and that they’re protected from any illnesses that they may come in contact with at school or on the playground. Well-child visits help reduce the number of sick days that your child may need to take and can help you save money by avoiding preventable doctor’s visits.
At a well-child visit, you can also have a safe space to voice any concerns or ask any questions that you might have about your child’s health. This can help your pediatrician have a better understanding of any issues your child might be dealing with and can help them identify issues before they become severe.
