I'm sorry OP no idea what it could be but if you're worried give your health visitor a ring. Doesn't look like anything to worry about but best to check xx

According to google AI : n a newborn's mouth, white spots on the roof, called Epstein pearls, are normal and harmless, disappearing within a few months. These are small cysts filled with keratin.

Yes Epstein pearls is right, mine had this too, the health visitor checked and no cause for concern, just went away on its own.
