Do I need to tell my dentist about my WLS?

I'm going in for a routine cleaning next month and every time I go, the dentist asks if there have been any health issues/hospitalizations since my last cleaning. Is there any reason I should tell about my WLS? What difference will it make if my dentist knows or not? Thanks!
