A dental CT scan is different than an sinus CT scan. However, I would not subject myself to that radiation again in such a short amount of time.

The symptoms of a sinus perforation vary depending on the inflammation and the size and location of the opening. You do not have to have nasal or oral drainage with a sinus perf. Most of these will resolve on their own.
