Not really, there is no relation between tooth removal and stroke if it has happen after removal of tooth and then also after 5to 6hours of removal. Because if it can be due to that there should be history of too much blogs loss after tooth removal.
All above things have not happen means the attack can not be due to tooth extraction. You need to evaluate well the cause by doing various test like blood pressure, cholesterol, heart check up etc. This thing your treating doctor will guide you.
Take care.
