Scaling and bleaching are two different procedures. Scaling is cleaning of the teeth and it should be done every six months, it has no side effects. Bleaching is a tooth whitening procedure which is good for mild cases of fluorosis. Bleaching may cause some sensitivity initially for few days which can be counteracted by sensitivity toothpastes.

I advice you go for scaling (professional tooth cleaning) to remove the extrinsic stains and then polishing and then bleaching (tooth whitening) so as to remove the intrinsic stains and improves the tooth shade.
