The Importance of Preventive Care for Good Health

How your Perth Amboy area pediatricians can keep your child in the best health possible

Preventing diseases before they start is critical to helping people live longer, healthier lives, especially when it comes to children. Here at 7 Days Pediatrics in Edision, NJ, our team of pediatricians offers a full range of services to patients, including those living in Perth Amboy and the surrounding areas.

Wellness Visits - This type of healthcare visit goes by a lot of names, but it's essentially your child's annual exam. The doctor checks your child's height, weight, heart rate, and blood pressure. Think of this as your child's general maintenance check, and make it a priority.

Screen for Diseases - Health screening tests play a major role in preventive medicine and are an important part of well-child visits. Even before any risks are identified and symptoms are recognized, health screening tests help to detect diseases in their early stages. Many illnesses are highly treatable when detected early.

Prevent Health Problems - Well-child visits allow your child's doctor to review any changes that have occurred over the last year and encourage healthy choices. Your child's doctor can help you identify risk factors that increase your child's risk of diseases and offer advice on how to manage them.

Update Vaccinations - Today, vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, mumps, and whooping cough, are still a threat. It is very important for all children to receive recommended vaccinations to protect them against serious, preventable illnesses. Vaccination protects your children from getting sick. It also protects them from the complications of diseases which can include amputation of an arm or leg, hearing loss, paralysis of limbs brain damage, and death.
