Tooth marks on nipple

Hello, my DS is 1 year, still breastfeeding quite frequently. The latch was pretty good from the start so I've not thought about his 'technique' recently.
However, since his third top tooth came through, I've noticed that he's leaving toothmarks on me! It doesn't hurt as such, but does feel a little less comfortable than usual.

Is he just getting used to his new tooth, and presumably a slightly different shape to his mouth? Or should I be Doing Something (no idea what, mind) to improve the latch?

Thanks for any suggestions.

From what I remember, this is normal. You just get used to it. Nothing you can do.
