Lumps in the roof of the mouth can be related to a number of things. It could be related to an infection, causing a mucoceles (Requires surgical intervention), mucous retention cysts, swollen nasal polyps pressing against the soft palate (If the lumps are past the hard palate), warts, acidosis (Acid imbalance, usually accompanied by other symptoms like diarrhea, hypotension, foul stools, among others). And a number of additional causes, some idiopathic.
The existence of two lumps rather than one leads me to think they have a high likelihood of being mucous retention cysts. Fortunately, mucous retention cysts generally do not cause any problems and they are quite common. They are just cysts in the lining of the sinuses. Additionally, if the growths appeared out of nowhere, it increases the likelihood of being cysts. Often these growths either spontaneously shrink or enlarge or do not change at all and generally do not disappear without intervention. Most doctors agree that there is no need to remove the cysts unless they are causing discomfort.
However, it is always suggested that you have any strange lumps checked out by a doctor, in this case a maxilliofacial or oral surgeon. You could get lucky and they're harmless cysts but there is always a possibility that it could be a mucocele or even worse, malignant growth (Cancerous). Mucoceles are very similar to mucous retention cysts but with one major difference, they expand, eroding bone and sometimes even pushing into the orbit and causing an eye to bulge and even worse, sometimes expanding into the cranial cavity at which point an infection would be very serious and very likely to cause encephalitis (Swelling of the brain) and encephalopathy (Brain infection). Luckily, this type of cyst isn't common and does cause chronic sinusitis, bacterial sinus infections and headaches (Sometimes) so you would have plenty of notice.
