Won't open his mouth at doctors or dentist

I really need to get my just turned two year old's throat checked at the doctor tomorrow but last time he clamped shut and when the tongue depressed came out he screamed his head off. We tried three times and the doctor gave up. Its the same at the dentist except hes worse there he thrashes his whole body in an effort to get away. This is all fear based. His behaviour the rest of the time is unbelievably good so we are at a loss.

Does anyone have any tips or ideas of how I can get him to open up ? I did buy a dentist toy that has the little mirror they use to look at teeth.
