Hypnosis

Dental Hypnosis Dentist in Hamilton

Dr. Gabor Filo may be able to help you overcome your dental problems

Hypnosis has been described as ‘tunnel vision for greater awareness’. It gives patients the tools to help themselves whether it is for physical or psychological concerns.

Dr. Filo teaches his patients self-hypnosis to have a life skill to help themselves when they need it. Self-hypnosis skills are the ultimate acts of self-control. Focused minds are more powerful.

Some individuals have higher native hypnotic talent and capacity that may allow them to benefit more readily, but everyone can benefit from hypnosis. Individual responses vary.

When Will Hypnosis be Beneficial?

Hypnosis will be most effective when you are highly motivated to overcome a problem.

Hypnosis can be a very helpful aid to treatment, but just like any other clinical method it can fail!
