Hi. Sorry to hear your pup wasn't properly cared for in your absence.
8 years old is still quite young for a yorkie! Both of my girls are just under 4 pounds and have regular Dental's and are spayed etc. she isn't too tiny for anesthesia. I would do the dental work ASAP. Bad oral health leads to many other issues including heart problems.
Good luck and know that even if she loses several teeth she will be much happier and healthier. This isn't an optional procedure. It must be done.
