Tiny white bumps on your cheecks may be the sebaceous glands called as fordyce's granules. It is harmless and painless. It won't create any problem, in case if the bumps increase in size or is painful then you need to consult the dentist.

Namaskaram,
The tiny swellings you observed could be mucoceles . These are fluid filled cavities that occur inside the cheek walls , lips etc. These usually occur when the salivary glands are blocked with mucous. These are most commonly experience but require a visit to the dentist. They can be removed easily with minor surgical procedures and oral anesthetic gels.

You should first check if it is fluid filled.. And does it recur frequently.. And does it burst by its own self.. If soo den it can b mucocele.. Which shud be treated by getting it removed and doing histopathology report..
Next thing to see is d colour of those pimple.. Is it slightly yellow in colour??
Is it seen anywhere else in ur mouth..
Cause den it is Fordyce granules which r jus sebaceous glands secretion.. And dey r due to excess oil secretion.. If dos pimples r see in ur lips or so den a laser treatment can b done.. Orelse some ointment having retinoic acid can b applied
