I carry and use these to this day (8 months since end of treatment) and they make it possible to be out and about without necessarily having to carry water. This is more applicable to life after treatment if you have the dry mouth problem. http://www.3m.com/product/information/Dental-Xylitol-Theramints.htmlPS - I don't know about the fruit version
