Yes, check-ups are important. For the longest time, I was avoiding doctors because I felt they were more on the fear-side and pushing for treatment when it was not needed. I guess that's true for certain things, but it's good to know if your cholesterol or blood pressure is high so you can something about it.

Going to the dentist is really important. Thought I would never get a cavity, but they found one and nope, they don't go away on their own unfortunately. So good thing I went and got it patched up. Taking better care of my teeth because of it!
