My father in law is a dentist in Germany and he never recommended flossing. In fact flossing is not common in Germany and we don't hear that Germans have very bad teeth compared to Americans.
So although dentists could notice if you have good dental hygiene I'm not sure they can spot easily if you floss or not. It might just mean that in US good dental hygiene means that you floss, but converse might not be true.

- dalai 10y agoAll the dentists I've tried so far in Germany have recommended flossing. The last one actually showed me how to do it properly and gave me a free sample to use until I bought my own. Perhaps things are changing here too?
