Dog teeth brushed knee, surface wound

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

My pet dog who has been vaccinated and gets a booster every year happened to brush his teeth against the inner side of my knee today over the shorts I was wearing. There was no direct teeth contact, neither did the shorts get any perforation but there is a small surface wound. The skin has come out and there is blood clotting, there was minor bleeding. Is there any reason to worry and do I need to take any action?
