Possible scale issue?

I was handling my corn yesterday, and noticed under the light since I am fascinated in getting up close to the snake visually and am mesmerized by the beauty of its scales as she slithers through my hands. I noticed a tiny dent, on one specific scale only. The dent looked like the scale was picked at by a mini pick axe sort of speak just to give an idea of what it looked like. I tried finding it after but couldn't it was quite miniature but I just wanted to know if there are any health problems on snakes that are related to small dents on individual scales?
 
It doesn't sound like something I would worry about! She may have torn off the top layer of it in her cage or during a shed (a rougher dent). Mine seem to have little dents in their scales, I think it's normal. :)
