I have had it for a couple of days only when I chew with that side of my mouth. I never get tooth ache, I don't have a dentist, and don't plan on getting one, usually when I am ill or something hurts I just wait it out and it heals on it's own.

So my question is can a tooth re-set itself if I avoid hot cold food, and chewing????

You should have a dentist look at your teeth. The tooth might look perfect on the outside but it could be decaying on the inside. In the mean time use Sensodyne toothpaste. It does help.
Seriously - if you've tried flossing and cleaning your teeth carefully (to see if you have some food stuck between them), and there's been no change, then I think a visit to the dentist is imperative. If you have a small hole in the tooth, then it won't get better by just leaving it, and could actually result in you getting an a gum infection or an abscess. You can buy temporary "fillings kits" from a dentist, and I believe Boots sell them, but they're really only for emergencies, and only a dentist can examine you properly and tell you what's causing the problem.
See a dentist every 6 months. Dental pain is one of the worst you can experience. Make sure you see a good one not cheap back street one.

If you do get pain, try cotton wool soaked in oil of cloves pressed against the painful area.
