More than 1,000 dental professionals and volunteers will be on hand to provide free dental care to anyone, regardless of your income.

In a press release, Dr. Daniel Pituch, one of the founders of Mission of Mercy Pittsburgh, said, "Many of those who will be served are from working families who do not have access to dental care or cannot afford dental insurance. Mission of Mercy Pittsburgh dental clinic can be life-changing for patients, especially the homeless, the working poor, women in shelters, and children whose families do not have the means to see a dentist. By providing care, we help underserved patients move on to a better chapter in their lives."

Doors will open at 6 a.m.

It is first-come, first-serve and you don't have to register ahead of time.
