Yes, legally all general dentists are qualified to do root canals. But, IMO not as qualified as an endodontist who has gone through 2-3 years of additional training in the specialty and does ONLY root canals all day rather than once/week.
I would only let an endodontist do my root canal and similarly (but more serious) I would only let a heart surgeon do my bypass surgery.
