Did the vet apply the first app of OraVet after a dental?
This just happens sometimes. Some Yorkies could use a cleaning every 3 months.
You can try flossing. Brush twice a day.
The outside only thing is because that is where the majority of the tartar builds up in dogs. That is where a dental cleaning is focused. Most dogs will get much less on the insides. Also, there is more of a biting hazard to do the insides and a lack of acceptance from the pet. That said, I do the insides and dont' recommend that they are skipped in Yorkies unless it's a safety issue for you. You could also add something like MaxiGuard in if you are comfortable with the zinc content.
