Hi there and thanks for your question. I may want to get a second opinion from another veterinarian. Any size of dog can have a dental cleaning or oral surgery. It only becomes an issue when the patient's heath is compromised (has heart condition, kidney, or liver failure, etc.) that could cause a problem during anesthesia. I would visit a speciality clinic and get another opinion from a different doctor.
