I work at a vet clinic that does 3 to 4 teeth cleanings for animals every day.
Now, there are many many teeth cleaning products out there that can help your pets teeth immensly. Everything from bones to doggy treats to special dog foods will help scrape the gunk off of dogs teeth. I suggest you go to any big name pet store like petco or petsmart and searching for some teeth cleaning products.
I would definately suggest buying a dog tooth brush and dog tooth paste. This will help out most of all, and it's usually really easy to do since dogs like the taste of the tooth paste.
Now, let me tell you why none of these products will work until you get your dogs teeth cleaned at the vet clinic.
These products work on keeping your dogs teeth clean, but they aren't strong enough to do anything to the tarter and calcium buildup that's on your pets teeth now. And, that's what's making the bad smells. Imagine not brushing your teeth or going to the vet clinic for a few years, and then suddenly try to brush your teeth without having all of the years of tarter scraped off. Your teeth wouldn't get any cleaner with simple brushing. It will make it so they don't get worse, but it won't make the bad smell go away.
I know it costs a lot to get your pets teeth cleaned. The actual cleaning doesn't usually cost much, but it's the anesthesia that costs a lot. Unfortunately the vet or vet techs can't just tell an animal to open wide and stay still like a human dentist can. So, we have to put the animal under anesthesia to get them to stay still.
It will help her keep her teeth longer if you get them cleaned. We have a lot of older dogs and cats with no teeth because their owners didn't get cleanings when they were younger. There are also a lot of older dogs and cats who can't eat without pain because of their teeth.
If it comes to that, then you'll end up spending much much more money on her vet visit in the long run.
We just got a cat at the vet clinic yesterday that didn't have surgery while she was young, and she ended up needing all of her teeth pulled because of various problems. This ended up costing her over $800.
Our regular dentals are around $130 a year. Compared to $800, I would much rather take a regular cleaning.
So, get all the products you can think of, but in order to fix the problem, your still going to need to get your pets teeth cleaned.

My dog gets gets really bad breath.We ususally feed her a certain kind of bone, and it really helps her teeth and her breath.If you ask your vet or go to a pet store and ask and maybe they can let you know what kind of bone you can give your dog for its breath.

If you're sure her breath isn't bad due to rotting teeth or her diet, there are several products you can buy from your local pet store that should help. You may need to try a few before you find the one that works the best as all dogs are different.
If your dog is really old, there could be a health issue making her breath bad like failing kidneys.
If none of the odour control products work, it may be time to take her to the vets just to ensure that there is nothing else going on. It's not always just a case of needing the teeth cleaned. If you can't afford a vet, there should be some organisations that will offer reduced cost vet checks.
Hope that helps and good luck.
