Yes. Usually it is the hygienist that asks. I feel comfortable with her so I have no problem answering her medication and medical questions. She will only ask for additional information if there are any changes.
There are special dental offices that only see people with medical conditions, disabilities and psychiatric illness. I go to one that is located in a hospital. I feel a lot more comfortable there than in a regular dental office. Maybe you can look into that option.

Good point. I wish psychiatrists would tell you that certain medications can destroy your teeth. Grrr. I have no more molars in my lower left jaw due to loxapine.
