Spots?: The most severe form will leave a grayish film on the gums. Are the spots white and like a cotton ball? If so this is most likely a fungal infection. The best thing to do is to see a dentist asap.

More information : We need more information. There are way too many possibilities to answer your question properly. Where are they? What size? What color? How long have they been there? Irregular in shape? Flat or raised? Any pain or discomfort? Any medical issues? See you own dentist who may be able to answer your question or refer you to an oral surgeon or periodontist if necessary for an evaluation.
