I think I read somewhere that maltodextrin is a type of sugar, so should I be brushing my teeth after every malto/whey shake I take?

It is a type of sugar (although most companies like to pass it off as a complex carb) and it will rot your teeth like most other sugars. Brushing the teeth is always a good idea after a meal, so yeah.

I usually brush my teeth too. Mainly because I like to have a clean feeling in my mouth after drinking flavored whey. Plus it and smell kind of bad to the girls. The sugars you should be most worried about are the kind that stick. Expecially hard candies I think. The malto desolves so easily it just doesn't tend to stay long.
Happy brushing :)
