Welcome to the forums!

If they are hidden using the settings in the App Drawer, you simply open the app drawer, look for the 3 dots in the top right corner. Tap the 3 dots and you will see "Show hidden apps" or something similar, if you have hidden apps, that were hidden in this same place.

In KitKat it had those white dots, I can't remember what it had before KitKat. If your version is before KitKat and you can't figure out how to do this in the App drawer, then post again and let me know what version you have.
