With a floss threader, super floss, or water pic. You must go under the fake tooth and make sure you clean the teeth holding the bridge in

A waterpik or floss threader will clean under the bridge just fine.

If you can pass a Super Floss (Oral B makes them) under the bridge that would be an effective means.
