You have two options..
Veneers wherein a very thin laminate material made of ceramic/porcelain will be cemented to the front surface of your teeth which essentially masks the stains..
Full ceramic crowns which covers the entire tooth structure is also a good option..a lot of tooth structure will be cut in the crowning process however in veneers,minimal cutting of tooth is done..

Fluoride stains cannot come and go. They are always present on the teeth. Get a dental check up to confirm the diagnosis. If it is only normal staining and not internal staining then only scaling and polishing is required
