See dentist: I suspect that you may be grinding or clenching your teeth especially during your sleep. Consult a dentist first before a CT scan.

See an ENT: A CB CT scan will show the extent of nasal polyps and anatomical variations. Corticosteroids in the form of nasal sprays or oral medication may shrink or eliminate polyps in some cases. Surgical removal of polyps is a must if they block the airways or cause lead to refractory sinus infections. See an ENT for proper diagnosis and treatment.
