I swallowed dentists bleach during a tooth extraction about 7 months ago and for the last 5/6 months i've been having stomach problems. are they linke?

Very unlikely: I question the use of "bleach" by a dentist during a tooth extraction? Did you have a tooth whitening visit the same day as the extraction. Please see your primary care physician for an evaluation.

No: Dentists do not use bleach when extracting teeth. Whatever you swallowed would be quickly neutralized by stomach acids and digestive enzymes. Additional weeks went by without symptoms. Strongly suggest you see a Gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis and treatment of your "stomach problems."
