You should consider brushing his teeth daily. It's the perfect time to start, especially since he's still a puppy. It'll be a struggle at first, so start slowly. Make sure you only use dog toothpaste. That should help with the bad breath, but more importantly, prevent future major health issues linked to their teeth.
Also, many who don't brush their Yorkies' teeth, end up having to remove the teeth. I've encountered numerous past Yorkie owners who told me that they had their dogs' teeth all removed before even 5 years old!
About his eyes - feed a good quality food. Change his water dish at least once daily. Give him either filtered water or bottled water (not tap). Clean his food and water dish daily. Make sure to wipe his eyes several times daily too to keep it free from eye-gunk that can harden around the eyes and be very uncomfortable.
