labor and delivery, infertility, female reproductive health and more.
4. Ophthalmologist
This is a type of eye doctor, but this type of eye doctor has the ability to perform routine eye checkups and discuss conditions and diseases for your vision and eyes as well as perform surgery on the eyes.
5. Dentist
This doctor works solely with the teeth and dental health. This is who you would go to for a teeth cleaning and is usually the first point of contact if you’re suffering from any dental issues so they can refer you to a specialist that will give you a better insight into what may be going on.
Why your Health May Depend On These Evaluations
Your health can depend on these evaluations because without them, you won’t know exactly what is going on, especially if there are no symptoms as stated before.
Annual checkups with a primary care physician can get you the answers you need as to why you’re experiencing pain, constant fatigue and weakness, which could be due to low iron and vitamin D.
Getting evaluated by a dermatologist could answer the question as to why your skin looks so dull or why you have developed these weird-looking moles on your body. It can also help with the prevention and detection of a skin disease that has developed or if your skin is currently suffering and needs more sunscreen.
These evaluations will make sure you either begin to start aging healthier or continue to age healthy because they give insight into what’s happening.
How To Go About Finding The Right Care For You
When it comes to finding the right care, the first three types of appointments you should schedule are with your primary care physician, your dentist and your ophthalmologist. These are the types of checkups you need annually even if you are showing no symptoms and suspect nothing is wrong. These three types of doctors will give you the annual checkups and cleanings and then refer you to the specific type of doctor that you need if you are dealing with any concerns or if there were any findings in the evaluations.
Women seeing an OB/GYN should be scheduled right after or even in between the first three appointments. Then you can move on to scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist.
However, you choose to schedule your appointments (as long as you are visiting these five doctors annually) you’re putting your future health as a priority and that’s what is most important.
