See bottom right corner of tooth. Must've had the saw on it's side because it's only the left side cutters. Saw was like a hot knife through butter now it's cutting on a 30 degree angle through the log.
1. File?
2. Dremel?
3. Buy new chain?
Edit please be patient I'm trying to post a pic but.....

I'd file it, but it will most likely wear out two files, so the smart move will probably be to bin it and get a new chain.
Depends of your price on files and time.
And chains.
A grinder would take that damage off in a hurry but if all of the teeth were damaged that bad there wouldn't be a lot of tooth left. also would need to take the rakers down. If only a few teeth are that bad just sharpen the rest like normal, the damaged ones will match the rest of the chain after a few sharpening's and the chain should still cut good. Steve
I cut my stumps low. And I do mean low. I get that once in a while. I just file it back,take double the strokes of a file,takes a few filing, ;D,to get that wound out of there. Sometimes I take it off and save it for more low stumps,after I file it.

Yep I think that's how it happened
I tried a free hand die grinder (left) but I only butchered it so I went back to the file (right).

I would file that out, maybe the first filing won't cut perfectly but after the second and third touch up she will be good to go
Angle grinder, 2 minutes.
Be careful about taking too much off the rakers as well.
You will get a lot more kickback if you aren't careful. >:(
Those rakers look way high. Steve

Didn't file the rakers yet after filing out the damage
