Here is some more info for you:

When Max was neutered, he had 6 baby teeth removed. I could tell his mouth hurt. The hard part about neutering was he couldn't jump or sprint for about 10 days. I carried him on his usual walking route. Vets usually recommend waiting up to 2 weeks before resuming full activity. The dogs usually have different ideas.
How old is Emmett? If he needs a dental or if he has retained baby teeth, those should be taken care of immediately.
I think you could have all 3 done at the same time. The first day will be a little rough, but then he will be fine. If your vet recommends leaving him at the office overnight, ask if there is someone there at all times supervising. Many offices don't have anyone. If that is the case, insist on bringing him home.
