Although I cannot say with 100% certainty without a hands-on exam, these bumps look like mouth warts or papillomas. A common cause in young and otherwise healthy dogs is a virus. This would be more likely if your pet has contact with other dogs such as at a dog park, doggy daycare, etc. If they are caused by a virus, there has likely been mouth to mouth contact with another dog, or the saliva of another dog on a toy, stick, food bowl, etc. Most cases of viral papillomas are self limiting, eventually resolve on their own - but are highly contagious. I would recommend that you have your vet examine her to make sure this is actually what ha going on.
