Proactive: This would be proactive versus reactive. Included are things like regular visits to the Dentist to prevent dental problems instead of waiting for problem to occur. Yearly physical exam with blood work to check health status before you have a problem. Eating properly and regular exercise to help prevent things like diabetes and high cholesterol, etc. Your wise choices and actions prevent conditions

Preventive Care: lets your health care provider find potential health problems before you feel sick. Good examples are: immunizations, lab tests, imaging, physical exams, and prescriptions.
