Best Answer: Technically, India is a part of Asia; however, the land mass south of the Himalays is often referred to as the Indian Sub-continent, a smaller continent-like area with India, both Pakistans, and probably Nepal.

A surgical extraction is a more complex procedure. It is used if a tooth may have broken off at the gum line or has not come into the mouth yet. Surgical extractions commonly are done by oral surgeons. However, they are also done by general dentists.
There are several types of extractions. Depending on the severity of the procedure you need, anesthesia and/or numbing medication may also be involved. In a simple extraction, your dentist removes your tooth by loosening the surrounding gums, grasping your tooth with forceps until it comes out.
