Dear o,
They're likely to be Fordyce spots, not oral herpes (cold sores).
Herpes is quite painful and exquisitely sensitive to touch. Here's a good picture taken from the Mayo Clinic web site. Your photos don't show any of the key features illustrated, namely localisation, inflammation (redness, swelling), blisters/pustules and ulceration.
