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.
After a tooth extraction, dentists usually give advice which revolves around not disturbing the blood clot in the socket by not touching the area with a finger or the tongue, by avoiding vigorous rinsing of the mouth and avoiding strenuous activity. Sucking, such as through a straw, is to be avoided.
