Relax, it's teething and happens at this age. As soon as they lose all their baby teeth and the adult teeth come in, it stops. Most Yorkies don't lose all the baby teeth on their own, and most of us get the remaining ones pulled during a spay or neuter. During this period they sometimes have a double row of teeth and food gets locks in the crevices, and that mixed in with the blood of the lost tooth, leaves a rank smelling mouth. Glad you are getting him use the the toothbrush!
I'd be careful about making my own diet, a balanced human diet isn't the same as a balanced canine diet. While those are all good foods you are using, it may not be balanced. Sounds like it doesn't have as much calcium as he needs.
