If the snake appears normal and there was no blood then it's probably not necessary to see a vet. Just keep a close eye on your snake over the next couple off weeks and if anything seems out of the ordinary then a vet visit might be in order. Things to look for are a misaligned jaw, excessive yawning, drooling, or problems eating.
Also, make sure to keep the cage exceptionally clean (especially his water bowl) to prevent infection in case his mouth did get scratched.
