stinky puppy breath!

Pew! Olive used to have cute puppy breath, but lately it's smelt like hot garbage... yuck. :-/ No change in diet, so I'm wondering if it's because she's teething? Anyway to cut back on the smell? Greenies aren't working, and brushing only lasts for a little while. Thanks!

Have Olive's teeth started to fall out yet? One of ours had some teeth that were ready to fall out, but were stuck. Our vet said that if the teeth don't fall out right away, they will start to rapidly decay in their mouth and smell awful. He ran his finger over the teeth with a little pressure and literally half of the teeth fell out. Breath was immediately improved within a day or two.

Finnigan had terrible breath during teething. The blood in their mouth tends to give a rank, fishy odor. We tried brushing, Greenies and doggy mints but nothing really helped (at least not for long).
