Exclamation Teeth cleaning

I am hoping to get some more closure on this subject and want opinions on whether a cleaning and/or extraction is necessary. I know the pictures may look rough (especially since I had just finished brushing them) but my yorkie has already been to 2 different vets and they have both told me that it is not an urgent matter right now to get the teeth cleaned although it is recommended. My concerns are not with the tartar, my concerns are with two specific teeth which I have uploaded the originals to show where the teeth are exactly and then enlarged the problem areas. The first tooth looks to be poking through the gum at the top, am I wrong? Is it supposed to be like that? The second tooth looks like it is cracked, is that what it looks like to you? I'm not a tooth expert and don't know if teeth have natural lines like that.

Please don't jump down my throat over this, I just want to make sure that surgery is absolutely necessary. I struggle heavily with depression and my yorkie is one of the very few things that keeps me going. I cannot imagine losing her because she was put under for teeth cleaning.
