unflossed
Skipped string cleaning
Unflossed describes teeth that haven't been cleaned with dental floss: The dentist could tell which molars were unflossed.
The word implies neglect of a recommended hygiene practice, carrying a faint note of guilt familiar to anyone who's faced a dental hygienist's questioning.
