Minor Dog Bite

Hi,
I am a resident of India, Today accidentally a stray dog tooth hit my thumb (this happend when i was feeding the dogs, when i was throwing the food the dog tried to catch it). There was no scar, no puncture, no blood and the area is not even red, i just had a slight pain when it happened. I washed the area perfectly and applied some antiseptic. Please suggest me weather do i need to start immunization? I am not sure weather i can closely moniter the dog or not.

Please suggest me
