Little Partners℠ Dental Benefit

Kids’ oral health starts here

You do your best to keep your kids in good health, including good oral health. Healthy dental habits from an early age can mean fewer cavities, fewer missed school days and more smiles to last a lifetime.

At HealthPartners, we’re here to make things easier – and more affordable – with our Little Partners dental benefit.

Full coverage for all your child’s in-network dental expenses

Little Partners is a benefit that’s available on many HealthPartners dental plans offered through your employer. With Little Partners, kids 12 years old and younger get 100% dental coverage when they see an in-network dentist. That means:
  • No deductible
  • No coinsurance
  • No out-of-pocket expenses
  • No annual benefit maximum
All dental care is covered under Little Partners.

Orthodontic care, like braces, is not covered under Little Partners. This kind of care is subject to your plan’s standard coverage.

Proper dental care helps prevent cavities and toothaches for your little one and supports a confident smile. But when should you add your child to your insurance and what kind of coverage do they need? Here’s what you should know.

Dental procedures don’t come without risks, and when your child is the one sitting in the chair, these risks become especially real. See how HealthPartners is making dental visits safer for children.

Whether your little one has a loose tooth or you’re getting ready for when they do, there’s a lot to know about your child’s dental journey. Learn what to expect when kids start losing teeth.
