If you are planning on spaying her, her retained puppy teeth can be easily removed during her spay. They are the cause most likely of her bad breath and if not removed will cause decay and continued issues with her adult teeth. What has your vet recommended regarding her spay and retained teeth? My Pebbles had 2 teeth removed when she was spayed at 6 months, Bogey had 1 removed when he was neutered and Doodlebug didn't need any removed.
The Yorkie breed needs special attention to their oral hygiene health and many need yearly dentals prevent tooth lose and stinky breath.
I see you are in the Chicago area and so am I.
