Cavity cannot ever heal by itself.
You should confirm with your dentist how deep it is and get an treatment done that is either filling or application of sealent.
The clinical examination has to be done to confirm whether filling is required or may a sealant can be applied to prevent further progress of the cavity.
Next Steps
Consult a specialist and get the examination done.
