Meeting new dogs

My little guy is just over 4 months old & when we're out & he meets a new dog, he's continually going for the face, licking & nipping. We've had a few situations where the dog snapped back at him growling. I don't want to run into any problems on walks, I've also heard to be careful of introducing him to other dogs when he's a puppy since they do nip at the face, some dogs might see it as a threat & respond with agression.

Anyone deal with this? what did you to do stop/control this behaviour?
