The first thing Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi did when released from hospital was to visit his dentist.

The first thing Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi did after being released from hospital yesterday (December 17th) was to visit his private dentist, it has been revealed.

The PM spent four hours undergoing emergency dentistry treatment to fix two broken teeth. He was treated by his personal dentist, Dr Massimo Mazza, before returning to his palatial home in the Milanese suburb of Arcore.

Dr Mazza commented: “He was not very happy because he is an image-conscious man and to see yourself in the mirror with two broken teeth is not pleasant for someone like him.”

He added the PM will now embark on a period of rest after his ordeal.

Elsewhere, the boyfriend of pop superstar Kylie Minogue had to be rushed to an emergency dentist in Melbourne over the weekend with a mystery ailment.

He and Ms Minogue had been attended a 90th birthday party for her grandmother at the time of the emergency incident.
