Cold water: Cold water is not bad for your teeth however it can cause sensitivity for some people. See a dentist if this happens to you. There are treatments for this.

Cold water: Not for healthy nerves in healthy teeth. Teeth with cavities, erosions and very large fillings can have nerve that are adversely affected by very cold liquids. Have it checked out. When was your last dental checkup?
