Given her age treatment would depend on severity, you can try with lazer bleaching if feasible, if not porcelain laminate veneers would be a better option.

The treatment for dental fluorosis is aimed at camouflage treatment to cover those discolored patches because they cannot be removed...... the various treatment options can be advised to you after a proper clinical examination by a dentist....... the treatment options can range from bleaching in mild cases to Zirconia or e-max crowns as the best final resort......
