It does still get on your teeth.
The best thing to do is brush your teeth or use a mouthwash after eating or drinking, but it also helps if you just swish with water.
Also, drinking with a straw will give you more wrinkles around your mouth faster than if you avoid using straws.
So, using a straw doesn't really help you out in the long run.

My dentist told me that if i drink a lot of coffee, soda or juices to drink it with a straw because it doesnt get on your teeth as much and goes straight down your throat. So im sure some still might get on your teeth but not that much.

DIANA,
YOU HAVE TO EXAMINE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T USE A STRAW.
WHEN YOU DON'T YOU HAVE ALL SURFACES OF THE FRONT TEETH EXPOSED TO THE LIQUID. AS YOU PLACE THE LIQUID DEEPER IN THE MOUTH TO SWALLOW, MORE OF THE BACK FLAT SURFACES OF THE TEETH ARE EXPOSED.
USING A STRAW THE LIQUID BYPASSES CONTACT WITH THE FRONT TEETH ALTOGETHER AND MOVES TO THE BACK TO GET SET FOR SWALLOWING.
USING A STRAW WILL EXPOSE LESS OF YOUR TEETH TO ANY LIQUID.

Yes, unless your teeth are in a glass by the bed at the time

Sure, especially on the inside of your teeth.

No Not if you put the straw deep in your mouth.
