See your dentist: Your dentist should be able to figure out what it is. If there is any question your dentist will refer you to a specialist who will determine what the lumps are. Best of luck!

Oral surgeon: This problem should be handled by an oral surgeon. These "lumps" are likely lymph nodes. The oral surgeon will determine cause and recommend treatment.
