As an example, if you are pregnant, teeth whitening treatment may not be for you, but the dentist will not know this unless you tell him. The chemicals used for whitening can prove to be harmful in pregnancy. Similarly, let him know if you are recently diagnosed with diabetes, so that you will be treated accordingly.
It is imperative that you be upfront with your dentist. Most dental offices want a completed medical history form, this form is typically available on the dentist website and should be completed prior to your first visit and when any changes occur to your medical history.
