There is no probability of infection of rabies in your case, as you vaccinate your dog regularly and there is only scratch of the teeth by your dog. Most important thing is that whether you washed scratch with water immediately after the scratch or not. If you have done so there is nothing to worry. You can observe your dog for 10 days from bite. If there is no symptoms in it then there is zero probability of you getting rabies infection.
