Default Age to neuter and remove baby teeth?

Asking for your thoughts and opinions. I have two adorable pups that will be 6 months in two weeks. The vet has encouraged us to have them neutered sooner than later (as they're brothers and we're occasionally seeing some unwanted behaviors). However, I've noticed one of my boys has two rows of upper teeth. I've been keeping an eye on it, hoping he'd start losing them (we've found a few of his brothers), but alas, nothing has changed in the last month. From the info. I've found online, it sounds like it could take him longer to lose them, but also I need to be careful not to wait too long (for fear of decay or infection). I had already scheduled the neutering for the week of Thanksgiving (as I'll be off work for that week). I know Bear may need to have some of his teeth taken out at the same time (which I prefer vs. the idea of having to have him put under again). Would it be better for me to wait and give him more time or do it now? We love our boys so much and I want to make sure I'm doing what's best for him and not put him at risk.
Thanks for your help.
