Makers of Orajel(TM) Invite Parents to Share Their Child's Smiling Milestone

Win a Family Vacation in the Orajel(TM) Smilestones Facebook Photo Contest


EWING, NJ--(Marketwired - May 7, 2014) - As the protector of children's smiles, no one knows the importance of early oral health more than Orajel™ -- the No. 1 teething brand recommended by pediatricians. The Orajel™ complete product line helps children through the teething, training and early brushing stages. To celebrate the importance of a healthy smile, the makers of Orajel™ in partnership with BabyCenter, invite parents to submit their child's "Smilestone" or smiling milestone to the Orajel™ Smilestones Photo Contest for the chance to win a luxury all-inclusive Caribbean vacation that gives the whole family a reason to smile.

Now through June 18, 2014, parents can visit the BabyCenter Facebook page via http://bit.ly/orajelsmilestones to upload a photo and brief description of their child's Smilestone. These smiling moments can be significant, happy milestones that children1 achieve throughout their early development -- whether its baby's first steps, their first big-kid bed or a milestone at preschool -- that put a smile on both kids' and parents' faces.

Nine finalists will be chosen from the entries2, and a public vote will commence on the Orajel Smilestones Photo Contest Facebook page from June 27 through July 11 to determine the grand-prize winner. The grand-prize winner will receive a Luxury Included® family vacation to the Beaches® Resorts destination of their choice in Jamaica or Turks & Caicos, along with an Orajel™ prize pack valued at $200. Eight runners-up will receive a $100 Target gift card, along with an Orajel™ prize pack.
