Since he has bad breath and is extremely fussy when you try getting in his mouth to inspect, the vet had strongly suggested the teeth cleaning also so she can check his mouth for the tooth that came out and make sure all of that was ok... I am such a big baby and i know he has to be under anesthesia to do this, but i have heard stories about little dogs and the effects of it and how a little too much can omggodforbid kill them. He is 6lbs and i just need to hear from anyone else that has had this done, and how everything went. Please ease my mind

Also, any tips on what to expect after i bring him home. Thank you!!

yes , you are right. There is always a risk with anesthesia. Most dogs come thru it just fine.
make sure you have pre op bloodwork done.
i can't remember the name but there is a special anesthesia the vets use for very small animals.
check with your vet on this..
i know you cant help but worry , its natural .
i am sure your little one will be fine and he will feel better with nice clean teeth..
