Our Team

Dr. Sand is a dental consultant who worked 15 years in the California private practice sector dedicated to Cosmetic dentistry. After a mission trip to Calcutta working with Mother Teresa’s organization Missionaries of Charity he began to change his career vision. Dr. Sand realized that the most valuable gift a dental professional can give a patient is to teach them to value their own teeth. 7 years ago Dr. Sand accepted a leadership position in a Hawaiian community health center and also currently helps to build capacity to treat more underserved patients in 2 other FQHC centers. Dr. Sand has a passion to train dental leadership and the dental teams to build custom preventive care programs. The team at CSI Hawaii aspires to build the most innovative digital technology to track the clinical impact on oral health, to improve dental care delivery, and to partner in communication with patients in a plan to restore their oral health.

Dr. Beardsley-Hardy believes the answers to improving oral health care depend on the commitment to the education of the health care professional, education of the patients, and a commitment to continual public health education.
