Dental floss is good only when your doctor advised you to use because in so many place this floss doesn't reach due to tight contact, crowding of teeth and so on
Next Steps

Hi, dental flossing is good but not everyone require flossing. Actually, some people will have crowding and tight contacts between the teeth where floss doesn’t go, those people can't do flossing at all.
Health Tips
See that you brush all the surfaces of the teeth thoroughly then you won't require floss. But if there are gaps between the teeth then based on the level of gaps Dr will recommend floss and interdental brushes.

Flossing is good but not mandatory every night.
Do it regularly, that doesn’t mean daily!

Dental flossing is best practice but I recommend once in a week bcos incorrect or forceful flossing can causes gums damage. It also creat more space between two teeth due to damage which causes more food lodgement.
