After a couple of recent prints were dry I noticed a couple of minor surface dents, likely caused by overly enthusiastic use of my print tongs during the wash. Does anyone know of a way to remove these so I don't need to waste these and re-print?

A warm iron. Be careful on RC prints, use a low temperature.

Working from the back of the print you can try to reduce the dent using the back of a spoon. Work on a flat surface with gentle pressure. The dent will be less noticeable if the print is dry mounted under pressure.
