Your medical history has a lot to do with the method and type of treatment you will receive from your dentist. For example, if you are taking a medication that affects blood clotting time, your dentist should be aware. This may cause hemorrhaging problems with certain procedures.
If you have high blood pressure, you should certainly inform your dentist. Certain anesthetics and medications should be used in preference to others. If you have some form of heart condition, the dentist may change his method of working with you. If you have a pacemaker, have had bypass surgery or a stint, this too may change treatment. If you are pregnant, diabetic or allergic to certain medications - your dentist must know these things.
It's for your own benefit!
