There is nothing that will remove the staining tha occurs from taking tetracycline. Those stains are a part of the whole, permanent tooth. The only way to have whiter teeth is to have veneers.
I've know a few people who took tetracycline as children who have this.

Again, the second and third responders are a little misguided. Vital bleaching techniques utilizing carbamide peroxide can indeed rectify the staining caused by tetracycline but it takes a lot longer to do. The bleaching gels work throughthe entire thickness of the tooth--that's why they sometimes cause some sensitivity(irritate the nerve tissue in the pulp). Talk to your dentist or one who has done a lot of bleaching cases.
