Oops...: You should be fine. If you have any problems or concerns, call the dentist who removed them.

Not recommended: Do not use a straw for 4- 5 days following surgery or you will disturb the clot and you might get a dry socket.

I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and today I accidentally drank out of a straw forgetting that I wasn't supposed to. Should I be worried? I am not bleeding currently nor do I feel any pain that I didn't already before drinking out of the straw.
