Sending dental vines for Tommy! Michelle covered the basics...a few other things are: Don't forget the pain meds, especially if he has extractions! No Metacam for pain, though - it is black boxed by the FDA for causing kidney failure in cats. Bupe is the pain med of choice.
An antibiotic after a dental is important, too, because the mouth is loaded with bacteria that can get set free into the bloodstream, even without extractions. Many vets seem to like Convenia here, but that is also not a good choice - it's not an appropriate AB for dental procedures, and because it is an injection that last 2 weeks, if there is a negative reaction to it, it can be very difficult to manage.
