A lot of dogs are mouthy especially when young. When he puts his mouth on your hand tell him NO and immediately stop playing/giving him any attention--just walk off for several minutes. Or conversely after you've told him no and he's stopped move to a more formal activity like taking the opportunity to practice sit or stay rewarding him when he does it correctly. I find it more effective and it works better than than punishment/pain.
One thing that you might already experience, or he might try this to get you playing again--jumping up on you. If he jumps on you as again many dogs do the best thing I've found to stop it is crossing your arms across your chest and if necessary turning you back to them--while ignoring them. Many people pick their hands up when the dog come to sniff their hands or approaches them but doing so is kinda like saying jump up. It's been kinda amazing to me that no other method of removing your hands from them seems to work any were near as well. Again it appears to work better than most of the "punishment" methods I hear of often like a knee in the chest.
Dogs really want attention and withholding it when they are not acting appropriately is really effective.
