After having an exam ,clifford testing, EAV my my biological dentist from IAOMT said he will not remove my three fillings until I have a neurological, cranial work up along with skull x-rays for my TMJ.

He said my range of opening my mouth is too limited. I think I can open wide enough but he said it may cause an acute exhaserbation of myTMJ and cause damage. The cost will be astronomical. Then once I get the work up done I will have to at the least wear splints 24/7 to heal the facial muscles before he will attempt removal.
.
Do you think this is extreme?
Do you think money is his motivating factor?

He also wants me to get irrigation treatment for my gums because I have 3 different kind of pathogens under my gums.

Just want to know if you think I am being taken advantage of???

I know my TMJ is bad but can he deny me removal until I have this work done?????

Thank You so much.
