Using "ou" changes the meaning to "either health or dental plan"; the intended meaning is both, so use "e".

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, offering a "plano de saúde" and a "plano odontológico" is a common perk that can make a job offer more attractive. While "a gente" is perfectly natural in spoken and informal written Portuguese, more formal documents (e.g., contracts) usually prefer "nós" with the verb "oferecemos".
