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

Be careful about taking too much off the rakers as well.
You will get a lot more kickback if you aren't careful.  >:(
Work hard. Be rewarded.

Those  rakers look way high.  Steve

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