There is a certain gloss, called Superfloss. It is especially made for it.

A floss threader or a water pik are the 2 best ways to clean under a bridge. A water pik is likely easier and more efficient.

I recommend either superfloss or an interdental brush. You want to get under the bridge and "sweep" under the fake tooth.
