Anyone have dental surgery with an ebf baby?

It's 4am and I'm freaking out a bit here (quite possibly unnecessarily) but I'm pretty sure one of my wisdom teeth has been playing up the last week or two and it doesn't feel like it's going to settle down on its own this time. I've got a 5 month old who's never had a bottle, I don't pump, I'm worried how everything might work if I need surgery to get this tooth taken out. Just wondering if anyone has had this done in the past and what you did?

I'm going to discuss with my husband in the morning, see if I can get in with my dentist and talk options with them too. I'm not so much worried about medications, if I find out what they'll use for anaesthesia and whatnot I can look them up and see what's safe. I'm worried about potentially having to be separated from my baby for an unknown length of time when she's never known any other way of feeding. I've also never had dental surgery so the idea of that in general is upsetting. Brains don't work great at 4am, especially neurodivergent ones, so would love to hear about other experiences if there are any!

I finished my first ever knitted sweater recently with a DK weighted yarn. If I follow the same pattern with the same size needles can I assume it will behave the same way but with a lighter, more airy finish? Or will I definitely have to do a gauge swatch and adjust the pattern from there?

Or am I better off trying to find a more mesh-y type pattern that specifically uses a thin yarn
