Hygienists and dentists can tell if someone hasn't been flossing, even outside of an exam.
You can't hide the inflammation that can be caused by skipping brushing or flossing- the margins of the gums will look red, and bleed when touched.
Put simply: You should floss at least once a day. If your gums still look inflamed, your dentist will want to determine the cause.
