They sound like oral papillomas or warts. You can read about them here

this site has more and better pictures just click on them to enlarge them to compare to your dog

They are pretty contagious among dogs so if you have had her in a puppy play group this might be where she got them.
However just in case having the vet remove them or doing a biopsy on one might be worth considering.
Hope this helps you!
