Does my prop need professional attention

A strike to a submerged object last last year took out several chunks on my skeg and put three small dents on one blade of my stainless prop (rear prop of VP F5 DPS). I have filed the leading and trailing edges of the blade until they are smooth to the feel but the edge itself still has three very small indentations. They are pointed out by the arrows on the third picture of the edge itself (first pic is leading edge - second pic is trailing edge). Anyone have an opinion based on this limited information as to whether I should be good to go with this prop or should I get it professional attention? TIA.

No leave it be or file off. Very very minor abrasions.

I don't see anything worth a trip to the prop shop.
