Hi! Welcome to the list and yep, it's time to get her to the vet. Rotten teeth can cause an infection that could travel system wide, making your dog very sick. She would be a lot healthier without a tooth in her head than she would be with even one rotten tooth. Not to mention how uncomfortable it must make her feel to try and chew with bad teeth. Believe me, you'll all three be glad you got her the help she needed.
