Red dots on tongue: Sometimes the structures on the tongue may get irritated or inflamed from reaction to some food or drink that you have ingested. Possibly a deficiency of certain vitamins or minerals or recent illness. If the red dots continue, contact your dentist for an examination to follow up.

See a dentist: Some of the likely causes of such spots include inflamed taste buds, allergies, trauma, cold sores, etc. See a dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment in case your red spots do not disappear after a few days.
