Before my daughter was born, I was a dental assistant for both an oral surgeon and an orthodontist. The main reason not to blow on your horn (or suck from a straw) is that if you loosen the blood clots that have formed in the tooth socket, the bone will be exposed to the air, which will hurt (dry socket)! If you're feeling any pain, stop playing and let your jaws heal. The last thing you want to do is to rip open stitiches, loosen blood clots, or cause undo pressure on the extraction sites. The roots of upper wisdom teeth are right under the sinus cavities, so you don't want to cause your sinuses any damage. Be patient; you'll be tooting your own horn soon!
