If ur upper teeth hve got caries, get them treated. Since as u say, u also hve hypodpntia, it's important to save present teeth including deciduous teeth. Further details of the treatment would depend on OPG radiographic view. Multidisciplinary approach may be required.
Hope this information helps u....
