It is not common to develop a sore throat after a tooth extraction. If you have them extracted in a hospital setting where they insert a tube down your throat to help you breathe during the procedure, the removal of the tube could scratch your throat and make it sore. If this happens, the best thing to do is gargle with warm salt water.

Generally no. Tonsillitis is caused from a bacterial or viral infection in the throat that causes the tonsils to become inflamed. This usually occurs when you have something like strep throat, or a throat infection.

Dentists tools should be sterile. So any infection that occurred was probably already present in your body.

Yes, but it doesn't necessarily mean you got it from the Dentist. You could get a sore throat any time you are exposed to disease organisms.
