By removing it under full anaesthesia.
An Endodontist does a procedure called a root canal.
The process to kill the nerve of a tooth is called Root Canal Therapy. Basically, it is removing the infected nerve. Hope this help!
Hello,
When the tooth is hurting, that means that the nerve is infected. The patient gets numb and the dentist cleans out the decay and medicate the infected nerve. This procedure is called a root canal. After the infection is gone, the dentist fills the root with the filling. Remember, it’s really important to put a crown on a tooth. The whole procedure is usually painless.

Root canal therapy involves removing & cleaning the pulpal tissue inside the tooth, which includes the nerve.
By using the endodontic instruments, before that, will get local anesthesia to get numb, then, by using instruments called files that kill and clean the canal where the nerve stays in before cleaning.
When the nerve inside a tooth becomes inflamed (by trauma or decay), it is very painful. The dentist will perform a root canal on the tooth. This procedure removes the nerve from the tooth and ends the pain. So, to answer your question, the dentist "kills" the nerve by removing it from the tooth with a special instrument called a file.
