Both. Make sure he opens his mouth as wide as he can before latching him on. If you can feel his teeth, unlatch and try again. My dd does that once in a while, but its because she is positioned weird and pushing down on my breast instead of just nursing. I unlatch her and try again. She is also 14 months and tries acrobatics while nursing. That's another story though! :)

Make sure you have him up high enough. when my daughter nurses sometimes I have teeth marks because she was dragging the boob down with her weight

My dd has her 2 top and 2 bottom front teeth and doesn't leave teeth marks or hurt me, so it may be a latch or nursing position issue.
