Biography

Dr Filo graduated from University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry in 1984. Since then he has been an ardent and passionate proponent of dental hypnosis. During the last two decades, he has proselytized to fellow dentists at many of the major North American dental conferences - Chicago Mid Winter, Yankee Dental, Pacific Dental to name a few. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hypnosis in Dentistry, a Fellow of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, the Pierre Fauchard Academy and an Honourary member of the Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnosis – Ontario Division and the Hungarian Association of Hypnosis. He has belonged to the major hypnosis societies, participating organizationally and as faculty, both nationally and internationally. He has authored articles, chapters and a DVD on Rapid Hypnosis. His private practice emphasizes the non-pharmacological treatment of dental anxiety and phobia. To that end Dr. Filo has been a 15+ year user of all tissue dental laser. He advocates for dental laser use and has lectured on their use. His specific areas of interest are rapid inductions and altered states of consciousness.
