I think that's a good idea. And personally, I think the risks of neutering him now are not as great as you are thinking. Lots of dogs have been neutered at the age of 6 mos and have been just fine.
I'm not sure you can link all the things in the study to neutering before a year old. I think that the increased preservatives in food, over vaccinating, ect. are some things to consider too.
In this case we know the teeth are causing a problem. Better to do it all now and get it done and have him recover.
I'll be thinking good thoughts for him! (and you!)
