A street dog's teeth came in contact with my fingers, but no scratch or wound (no blood) happened. Should I seek medical attention or is it fine?

As you are describing it is category 1 bite - no need of vaccine. But I am not sure how you came in touch with teeth but no scratches. Try to be cautious. Send with a pic of area of contact. You may have ignored something do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment if you feel necessary.
