It could just be that the person’s mind has lost their vestibular sense and tries to make up for the feeling. And if this only occures in few patients then it could quite possibly be that the vestibular sense has become disoriented and needs time to get used to the change.

I thought that phantoms were for limbs that could actually feel sensations, and teeth are not included in that category. It is fascinating, the types of tricks that the mind can play on us.
