Specializes in Dentistry

It depends. : Red spots or dots on the roof of your mouth can be caused by a variety of reasons. Some are just a minor inconvenience like canker sores, while others could be a sign of a more serious health issue that may require further investigation. See your local dentist as soon as you can for further evaluation.
