Through the process of evolution, humans are gradually losing their wisdom teeth. However, evolution takes time and doesn’t happen overnight. Meanwhile, most people are still born with at least one wisdom tooth.
Due to the limited space in our smaller jaws, these teeth can cause problems when they start to grow. Common problems include overcrowding in the jaw and infections, which can be extremely painful. When the pain becomes too much to bear, a visit to the dentist becomes unavoidable. At this point, dentists have to decide whether to keep a wisdom tooth or not. By examining X-rays, the dentist will make the decision based on a number of factors. These include the patient’s jaw size, the symptoms they are experiencing, the angle at which the tooth is growing, and the possibility of future problems caused by the tooth.
For many young adults, the act of removing a wisdom tooth is seen as a rite of passage. However, if a wisdom tooth grows straight without pushing other teeth or causing any discomfort, it is not necessary to remove it. If you’re unsure whether it’s time to part with your wisdom tooth, it’s best to check with your dentist.

♦ too... to... 的用法
此用法中的第一個 too 為副詞,表「太過於」,因此後面要接形容詞或副詞(如本文第二段第三句);第二個 to 則為不定詞,其後須接原形動詞,形成的不定詞片語作副詞用,修飾前面的 too,句構如下:
too + 形容詞 ∕ 副詞 + to V
太……而不能 ∕ 無法做……
例 The sick woman is too weak to walk.
這位生病的女子太虛弱了,無法走動。
★ 補充用法
too 之後也可接單數可數名詞,但此時只能搭配形容詞,而且形容詞須置於不定冠詞 a / an 之前,句構如下:
too + 形容詞 + a / an + 名詞 + to V
例 This is too big a task for one person to handle.
這項任務太重大,一個人難以承擔。

透過演化的過程,人類正逐漸失去智齒。然而,演化需要時間,並非一朝一夕的事。與此同時,大多數人仍天生會有至少一顆智齒。
由於我們較小的上下顎空間有限,這些牙齒在長出時可能會引發問題。常見的問題包括顎部過度擁擠和感染,這些情況可能會令人疼痛不已。當疼痛感變得難以忍受,就會不得不去看牙醫。在這種情況下,牙醫必須決定是否要保留智齒。經過檢查 X 光片,牙醫會依據諸多因素做出判斷。這些包含病人的顎部大小、他們出現的症狀、智齒生長的角度,以及智齒未來可能引發問題的機率。
對許多年輕的成年人來說,拔除智齒被視為是一種成年禮。然而,如果智齒筆直地生長,沒有推擠到其他牙齒或造成任何不適,就沒有拔除的必要。如果你不確定是否該與你的智齒道別,最好與你的牙醫確認。
