Small white bumps in inner cheeks can be because of lots of reasons. Sometimes it is a normal finding too. Though about the bumps in the lateral part of the tongue seems more of indentation of the teeth over the tongue. It is best to visit a dentist near you for proper history and clinical evaluation to reach a definitive diagnosis.

Hi!
Photo is not clear.
*Still white bumps in both sides of cheek- if you meant by a while line front to back of the cheek then it's mostly because of cheek bite- which is normal.
*Red patch of roof of the mouth- need photo.
*Bumps on side of the tongue - mostly due to close contact with teeth which is very common.
Above mentioned are not confirmed till a clear photo.
Please do mention if there is any pain or increase in size of the bumps/ patches.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist to have a clear opinion by clinical examination. Take care.
