You can get an enzymatic doggie tooth paste from your veterinarian which only needs to be applied to the teeth and does not need brushing. Once tartar is on the teeth this will likely not be removed by any tooth paste. You can also let him chew some Greenies which helps also. Yorkies notoriously have bad teeth, so they do need regular cleaning and also dental cleaning at the vet's office.
