You will need to see a dentist at the earliest to ascertain the intensity of the fluorosis followed by restorative treatment. The discolouration can only be treated with crowns or veneers as they are intrinsic stains within the teeth.

The appearance of teeth affected by moderate-to-severe fluorosis can be significantly improved by a variety of techniques. Most of them are aimed at masking the stains.
Such techniques may include:
Tooth whitening and other procedures to remove surface stains; note that bleaching teeth may temporarily worsen the appearance of fluorosis.
Bonding, which coats the tooth with a hard resin that bonds to the enamel
Crowns
Veneers, which are custom-made shells that cover the front of the teeth to improve their appearance; these are used in cases of severe fluorosis.

Hello sir
Ur dental fluorosis problem can be treated.. As others said dental laminates are something which are the best option .. But provided u remove the cause of it. Fluorosis problem mostly occurs when there is increase fluoride content in ur daily chores.. This can be water, tooth paste etc. U need to understand and correlate that with other people in ur locality who is having this problem. Visit a doctor who will help u diagnose the problem and remove the cause as early as possible before the situation worsens..
