Yes the sugar has a chance to dissolve in your mouth and is carried to your teeth by saliva.

so if you have a 'sugar pill' and down it with water then it will still be bad for your teeth?

If it's in your mouth it has a chance to dissolve if only slightly therefore carried in your saliva will be a small amount of sugar true enough it won't do as much damage as a lot of sugar but it'll do damage nonetheless
