How to protect sensitive teeth from cold when exercising outside?

My front two teeth were broken when I was a kid, so I have one veneer and one crown. When it's even a bit cold out, these teeth hurt. Bear in mind I live in Alberta, Canada. It's a sensitivity issue, but because they aren't real teeth Sensodyne etc won't help.

I'm just starting to run again and noticed it quite badly this morning - it was windy and a bit chilly. When I'm walking my dog in winter, or skiing, I have to try to keep my mouth closed so my teeth don't hurt, but I can't do that when running.

I've googled it, but just got suggestions that it's a dental problem. I was wondering whether a mouth guard might help. Any other ideas? Obviously I'll mention it to my dentist, but I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this?
