Baby Orajel Announces Baby’s First Tooth Photo Sweepstakes

Want to share your baby’s first tooth photo with all of America? The maker of Baby Orajel®, the #1 teething brand used by pediatricians to soothe baby’s gums when teething, is sponsoring the “Baby Orajel® Baby’s First Tooth Photo Sweepstakes.” The sweepstakes is a search to find America’s first tooth photos and kicks off during the first ever National Teething Month.

Simply go to http://www.orajel.com/babyphotocontest/ between March 9, 2010 and March 31, 2010 to enter for a chance to win. From the submissions, ten photos will be chosen at random as finalists. Then, the public will have the opportunity to encourage friends to participate by voting for and choosing the winner. The selected first place winner will bring home a $1,000 Grand Prize, while the second and third place winners will each win $500. (Your baby must have four teeth or fewer at the time the photograph is taken. Limit one photo per contestant, please.)

Traditionally, more babies begin teething in March than any other time of year. According to U.S. birth records, the greatest number of births each year normally occurs from July through September. And this means many babies, who on average begin teething at seven months, are well on their way to toothy smiles by March. That’s why the maker of Baby Orajel® has named March National Teething Month.
