MASON CITY | The Cerro Gordo County Free Health Care Clinic is teaming up with area organizations to help those in need of dental care.

The Free Clinic is sponsoring two round-trip bus rides to Cedar Rapids for free dental clinics on Friday, Sept. 29 and Saturday, Sept. 30. The clinics are part of the Iowa Mission of Mercy program in Cedar Rapids.

No appointments are necessary but treatment is on a first come, first serve basis. Many dental services are available, but bridges, crowns, implants or dentures are not available. There are no income limitations.

Those interested must reserve a bus seat at the Cerro Gordo County Department of Public Health at Mohawk Square, 22 N. Georgia Ave. A $5 refundable deposit is required.

Public Health is open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The deadline to reserve a seat is Friday, Sept. 15.

The bus will board at the north side of Shopko parking lot, leave at 1:30 a.m. and arrive in Cedar Rapids at 4 a.m.

Passengers will then need to get in line. The clinic opens at 6 a.m.

The bus returns to Mason City when all riders have been seen by a dentist.
