I would never allow my dogs to be under anesthesia with injectable anesthesia for a dental. They get induced with propofol and maintained with isoflourane gas. My dogs undergo general anesthesia. One of my dogs had her last dental a year ago at age 14. So that explains how I feel about the safety of the procedure. My vet recommends no food after midnight. They also are given a shot of cerenia before hand. They usually wake right up and recover pretty quickly. Expect grogginess the day of and possibly not wanting to eat much. Some of mine will eat like nothing happened and others just want a bite or two and sleep. By the next morning, they're all back to themselves.
I'm sure it will all go off without a hitch, try not to worry.
