My one year old dog poked my lip with its teeth and it bled. Should I be worried?

I was playing with my puppy who was clearly not in the mood and just poked me on my lips with its lips because he was annoyed at me. It made a puncture wound and drew blood. Yes, I am aware that it is my fault. Please do not point it out and I have already learned my lesson. What should I do? I've flushed the puncture wound out with tap water and am applying a cotton ball on my lip to decrease the blood from letting out. My pup is particularly healthy and show no signs of any illness as far as I know. The pup's last anti rabies vaccine shot was January 2020.

my last rabies and tetanus vaccination was last December 2016.
