Any whos LO has stains on their teeth

DD has these reoccuring stains on her teeth.  She had a cleaning a couple months ago but insurance will not cover another for 6 months so I am wondering of any helpful hints on treating these stains at home.  Anyone dealing with this?

 
I can not figure out what they are coming from.  From what I can tell the top causes are bottle which she has not been on since she was 13months old, iron which she in not on and flouride which I took her off of.  I feel like it got worse after I stopped the vitamins. 

The dentist says its not hurting her teeth just looks bad!  But I can not stand them

    No these are brown stains like it looks like her teeth are rotting but they are not.  We had them clean once before and it looked so much better after.  I may just pay out of pocket for another cleaning.
