check-ups
Routine medical exams
Check-ups are routine examinations to assess health or condition, typically when no specific problem is suspected.
A medical check-up screens for issues before symptoms appear: I schedule an annual check-up with my doctor.
The term extends to any periodic inspection: a car check-up, a dental check-up.
Also spelled checkups.
