A proper toothbrush has bristles for that specific purpose… Proper toothpaste gets into those areas too to help remove any plaque. If you maintain it properly, there’s no reason to floss in addition.
In fact, flossing is a terrible way to remove plaque. The wire itself doesn’t provide enough friction to remove just about anything. It’s why the US government hasn’t recommended daily flossing since 2016. It’s nice you can get a wire in between your teeth, unfortunately you’re not really cleaning anything with it there.
If you find you’re still building up plaque even after brushing thoroughly, use a toothpick instead, that is a more effective way to clean it.
