If your sensitivity is severe, you should see a dentist who can apply a desenstizer to exposed root surfaces. Cold sensitivity can also be due to poor occlusion, clenching or grinding. It is nothing to fool around with - see your dentist and get the correct answer. If he/she recommends toothpaste for sensitve teeth, then no harm done. Not treating it correctly may do more damage in the long run. Everyone's pain tolerance is different...how bad is it really?

Well, you could switch to Sensodyne toothpaste. If that doesn't work, try Crest sensitivity. If that doesn't work then go to your dentist and see if you have gum recession and root exposure. There are treatments such as fluoride varnish, hema, duraphat, just to name a few.
Also you can ask your dentist about MI Paste. It's a new toothpaste that you can only get through your dentist. It actually rebuilds the enamel. It's not for anyone who is lactose intolerant though.
Good luck.

I had the same problem and the dentist recommended Crest sensitvity tooth paste. I was skeptical but in a short time was amazed that it worked. it doesnt happen right away but you must use it for several week to notice any difference. My husband uses Sensodyne because he likes the taste better but also says it works for him.

I think there might be too much of a temperature difference for your teeth too handle the cold water, but maybe you should answer a dentist.
