If he will let you without you getting bitten, check inside his mouth for wounds or anything being stuck in his teeth or on the roof of his mouth. If there is something there and you can get it loose without much trouble, try that. However, if you cannot get it loose or there is nothing to be found that could be causing the problem, I recommend getting him seen by your vet as soon as possible.
