Almost everyone I know who has a dog or a cat complains about the bad breath problem, particularly from their dog (since they are more apt to want to kiss their owners than a cat does.) But bad breath can be a serious problem and lead to gum disease and teeth extractions, and they should have their teeth cleaned regularly. Small dogs seem to have more of a problem with this than bigger dogs, who are more apt to chew beef bones that help clean their teeth.
We just had Meko's teeth cleaned in November and now Kitsu will be having her teeth cleaned in February. Our dog's vet offers teeth cleaning discounts in February - your dog's vet probably offers teeth cleaning discounts, too.
A regular teeth cleaning is all part of good health maintenance, just the same as we do for ourselves.
