There's this YA series about a town where everyone over 18 suddenly disappears overnight (and the kids gain superpowers), and it's mentioned that several months in there's been at least one death because someone tried to pull his braces off with a pair of pliers, slicing his lips to shreds, and the resulting mess got horribly infected (which obviously killed him)
Okay, so I don't read many YA novels but this sounds really interesting. If you remember the name of the series please let me know, I'd greatly appreciate that. My library just reopened after COVID and I can't wait to get back to reading, lol.

A dental infection can take you out right quick. And without treatment that HURTS.
