A mobile dental clinic is expected to provide free check-ups for Ettalong Public School students during November and December.
The dental van includes portable dental equipment to provide students with dental check-ups, teeth cleans and dental decay x-rays.
The visit is part of the NSW Health Primary School Mobile Dental Program.
The program, which began in July last year with a focus on Western Sydney, the Central Coast and the Mid-North Coast, resumed in Term 3 in line with coronavirus restrictions.
School visits have been prioritised based on the level of oral health risk among their students.
