This is really common in yorkies; they just don't lose their baby teeth on their own. When Joey was neutered the doctor pulled 5 teeth and saved them for me in a little bottle. It's important to do this because if the permanent teeth come in with the baby teeth still in place, food gets trapped between the two rows of teeth, and this leads to stinky breath, cavities, and gum disease.
