What are you feeding? I think the type of food you are giving might make a difference.
My sister and I were just having this conversation the other day: She switched to a really high quality food and her Pug, which had terrible breath previously, almost improved immediately.
I would suggest you try to get into the habit of brushing as much as possible. Every day or at least every other day. The meat flavored toothpaste is fine...I've never noticed a smell. (I tried mint previously and he HATED it. Wouldn't even lick it off my finger). I brush daily with poultry flavored. My dog LOVES it. It's like candy to him. He knows what it means to brush his teeth and he comes running for it.
