Oral warts are certainly a possibility, as are quite a few other things such as Fordyce granules. Often times patients may have had interesting features in their mouths for quite a while before finally noticing it themselves. This is only one reason why a good comprehensive exam by a qualified Dentist is so important. We are trained to spot pathology that patients (and sometimes even patients Medical doctors) might never know of. Perhaps you will schedule an appointment today and maybe your Dentist will be able to put your mind at ease with some good news based on qualified knowledge !!

A thorough examination by a dentist is always indicated when there is any concern. HPV is a cause of concern and rising in your age category. However, that does not mean that is what you have. Make an appointment with a qualified professional to get a diagnosis and treatment plan, should one be indicated.

They do not appear to be Oral Warts, They look like normal Fordyce granules. A comprehensive oral cancer examination would be recommended.

You are now too worried and might be thinking any bump on your gums is an oral wart. They look like fordyce granules to me. I'd just go to oral surgeon or dentist to be certain though.

It is very difficult from this photo to give you any differential diagnosis. I would suggest that you see your dentist to determine if there is any concern. Most likely it is something benign.
The bumps in the photo are uncommon. Fordyce granules are usually in the skin lining the cheek. I would need to know if the bumps are painful, feel different from your other gum areas, are increasing in number and/or size AND if they are bilateral (left and right sides) to offer an additional opinion.
