My mother has Alzheimer's disease and has recently developed overlapping upper teeth. She has pain and sensations of the teeth being full of food. Her dentist at the local university teaching hospital has said that he thinks that it is in her head, although he admits that the teeth have changed and to come back in 3 months.
