Can a person that has years not going to the dentist have good healthy teeth?

my boyfriend has years of not going to the dentist I think the last time he went was in his early 20’s or 25 now he is 31. I’m aware that he doesn’t like going to the dentist because he is insecure of his big gums I also didn’t know how good his hygiene was until we started to travel and sleep the weekend together. I would notice he wouldn’t brush his teeth or use floss over the weekend. I would be the one saying “let’s brush our teeth “ I also got him into using floss now bc he wouldn’t use floss and he would say his gums would bleed , but that’s literally the reason why they bleed because he doesn’t floss right? . At first it was really a turn off to notice he wouldn’t brush his teeth constantly and would think if he brush his teeth at home every day lol. I haven’t said any mean comment to him but I do encourage him to go to dentist now that he has his insurance and he says he finally can go to the doctor.
