Is a dentist as qualified to do a root canal as an endodontist?

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. == == All Dentists are qualified to do root canals.

How painful is a root canal on a scale of 1 to 10?

Pain depends on the severity of the infection, the depth of the root canal, the "skill" of the dentist, and your pain threshold. There's lots of factors in a root canal which can increase/decrease pain. I've personally had three root canals. At some points during, it is not comfortable at all. I've never felt pain during any of my root canals, probably because of the anasthetic which is used. In my last root canal I had a small ache afterwards for two days, which I'd pitch at around 2 out of 10.

Are root canals bad for you?

The alternative to not having a root canal is quite often removal of the tooth, which I suggest is worse off than not having the tooth. When a patient needs a "root canal", we really mean that the nerve is sick and must be removed in its entirety from the tooth, the empty space where it used to live cleaned and sterilized and finally sealed. Without the removal of the nerve, the tooth may become infected from the inside out resulting in tooth loss, or the pain for the patient may become so acute that tooth removal is the only other option. In summary, root canals are not bad for you.
