The touching of teeth is a not a problem
Don't worry
However in an event of bite, you will need 2 booster doses- Day of bite and 3rd day later.

Based on general rabies prophylaxis guidelines, if you have previously completed a full post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) regimen and received booster doses, your immunity should be strong. Typically, minor exposures like touching a vaccinated dog's teeth without a bite or wound do not require additional vaccination. However, guidelines suggest that in cases of re-exposure, a booster dose may be considered depending on risk factors
