Hello,

If the wound is really deep then you should go get it checked . Also you may need a tetanus shot if you haven't taken one in five years . If the wound is deep maybe they will suture it and also with a wound always comes chances of infections . So it's always better to get it checked up . hope it helps.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
