She's a mini dachshund and ate a small piece of a cinnamon raisin bagel I was eating and dropped. I know they are toxic so I called the vet and the vet tech said it's ok she would have to eat a lot more than that to get sick. I'm still worried anyway...should I be?

I would say no also. Before I knew raisins and grapes were toxic, my dogs ate a number of them without issue, and we won't go into the 23 dozen chocolate truffles Kona ate. It never hurts to keep an eye on her, but I would follow the vet tech's guidance.
I wouldn't be worried. My dog loves grapes. I don't give them him, but he will snatch them up if one drops. He had quite a few over the years, including a bunch he stole off my niece's plate, and been just fine. Of course if there are any signs your dog might be getting sick, head to the vet immediately. But I wouldn't worry, especially if the vet isn't concerned.
one raisin won't hurt your dog. Plus dogs respond differently. My Bichon has gotten his hands on a handful of raisins (and about a pound of chocolate chips) and at worse all it did was give him runny poos
a few here and thre wont do any harm.
your dog would have to eat about a 1/2 a lb of raisins to become ill off one session...
feding a dog a handfull of raisings a day however could provide problems.
since this was an OOPS, not something id worry about.
though raisins can act as a laxitive so watch her over the next 12-24 horus for runny poop so you can make sure she stays hydrated if she gets a bit of an upset tummy

This reminds me of when my family was over working in the kitchen one thanksgiving and some pieces of onion dropped on the floor. Well you can probably guess what happened.
So I panicked and took the two dogs upstairs to get them to throw it up in the bathroom. Only they didn't. They waited until just as we were sitting down to eat, they both threw up in the dining room.
The prior thanksgiving, one of the dogs swallowed a sock that was momentarily dropped on the floor. Their regular vets office was closed. Rushed the pup to the emergency vet.

No. Don't be worried about one raisin.
You know how toxic chocolate is for dogs? Artie ate a brownie once. A whole one. "Better" than that was that his friend, an 80-pound Lab, at a WHOLE TRAY of brownies. Both of them were absolutely fine.

Not to mention the special ones that Nanners likes to eat.
No , Years ago before I knew raisins or grapes were bad for dogs my dogs ate them, and they never had a problem. Chaos will sometimes get a grape if it falls on the ground and my parents had a dog that picked grapes off their vines, While I would not feed them on a regular basis it is unlikely that a few once in a while will hurt your dog.
