Dots on the mirror can't be seen on the image taken with that mirror.

Theoretically they will reduce contrast.. but the effect is negligible.
However if there were streaks (as produced by rubbing the mirror surface with rough material) they would be visible as diffraction spikes (and they would be perpendicular to streaks on the mirror).

As Jonathan suggested, you are looking at hot pixels.
