A free dental clinic providing checkups and more will be making its next stop in York County.

Mission of Mercy of PA will send out 100 mobile dental units over a two-day span and will accept any patient on a first come, first served basis.

York's clinic is slated for Friday and Saturday, June 10 and 11, at the York Expo Center, located at 334 Carlisle Ave. 

“We are a 100% volunteer organization and can use all the volunteer assistance and support we can get from the York community to provide these services to those families and individuals who often cannot afford the cost of dental care," Bernie Dishler, Mission of Mercy of PA organizer, said in a news release.

Since 2013, clinics have been held in Philadelphia, Allentown, Harrisburg, Erie, Pittsburgh, Reading and Wilkes-Barre.
