I think you might worry more about building a tolerance for Gilliam style
deep air divers, on a regular basis.  Recent deaths show these exposures,
when prolonged and frequent enough, tend to increase your liklihood of
terminal stupidity, by peer emulation.

However, you might inform your  Dentist that he  may be able to profit by
offering a discount to  TDI divers who are looking for a safer way to enjoy
their drug of choice, and at the same time, do something about all the
dental decay a lifetime of eating jelly doughnuts and candy bars can cause.

TDI,  "DENTAL CHAIR DIVER"  could become TDI's safest new specialty.
