Dr. Jainam Tolia
Meet Dr Jai, a biological dentist here at Wonder of Wellness whose bread and butter is surgery. Jai loves reducing the inflammatory burden on his patients and optimising their biological capacity for full healing.
Having worked in conventional dentistry and in hospitals, Jai felt something was missing. His lightbulb moment came around three and a half years ago in India, when he naturally healed his alopecia through Ayurveda - a moment that made him realise nature heals, and that he wanted to bring nature into dentistry. That's where biological dentistry began for him: applying the most natural approaches with the strongest scientific base to optimise patients for the best healing. What has been most meaningful is improving patients' health in ways he didn't know were possible from an oral perspective, sometimes helping with wider ailments where the mouth turned out to be the missing piece of the puzzle no one had spotted.
In this video, Jai shares why listening is the key component that starts every patient's health journey. He believes in active listening, understanding a patient's values, intuition and discernment, and aligning with what their body is telling them. There's no pressure - just conversation, full diagnostics, and finding a middle ground together before any treatment. He also shares the story of how he came to Wonder of Wellness, travelling from London after Seb's values and approach aligned so closely with his own.
Outside of work, travelling brings Jai joy - learning about different cultures and getting out in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. At this point, he says, there's no competition with anyone but himself, as he focuses on constantly improving physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
