Delta Dental – New Age Limit for Pediatric Dental Care Under DeltaCare@ USA

Mar 25, 2024, 2 Minute Read

Delta Dental’s recent expansion of the pediatric dental coverage age limit under DeltaCare® USA plans represents a significant opportunity for you and your employer groups. By extending pediatric dental coverage to children through the age of 13—up from the previous limit of 7—Delta Dental not only demonstrates its commitment to family health that goes beyond the industry standard but also gives you a stronger benefits package to offer employers. And it allows employers to provide comprehensive dental care for their employees’ children fostering a healthier workforce and attracting top talent.  

Why the Higher Age Limit Matters
Having dental care from a young age is crucial as kids’ baby and permanent teeth develop. Most children lose their last baby tooth around 12 years old. Allowing kids to see the same dentist through age 13 gives them consistent, comfortable care during this important time.

Advantages for Brokers

• Stronger Plan Offerings: You can now pitch more competitive and attractive dental plans that demonstrate Delta Dental’s commitment to excellence in pediatric dental care.
• Increase Client Satisfaction: By aligning your recommendations with evolving family needs, you foster trust and loyalty with your clients.
• Easier Sales and a Competitive Edge: The extended pediatric coverage makes DeltaCare USA plans easier to sell, reinforcing Delta Dental’s dedication to pediatric care. It also caters to the growing demand for benefits that address the needs of families, making their offerings more attractive to a wider range of employers.

Advantages for Employers

• Attract and Retain Top Talent: Companies promoting employee and family well-being become employers of choice, especially for candidates seeking supportive, family-friendly workplaces.
• Improved Employee Satisfaction and Loyalty: Providing benefits that genuinely meet the needs of employees and their families can significantly boost employee satisfaction. When employees feel their employer cares about their well-being, they are more likely to be engaged, productive, and loyal.
• Reduced Absenteeism: With improved preventive care for kids through age 13, employers may see a decrease in absenteeism. Parents are less likely to need time off for dental issues when regular care is easily accessible and affordable.

• No-cost oral evaluations under age 3.
• Comprehensive orthodontic coverage, including clear aligners.
