Yes! See your dentist. Your jaw will always continue to melt away. As it does, the denture presses harder on your gum. The denture should be adjusted, relined, or remade depending on how loose it is, and how worn the teeth are.
Yes that is the primary reason for sore. Have the denture adjusted by a dentist
Yes, improperly fitting dentures can cause mouth sores. Your dentures may need adjustment or may need to be remade if they are many years old and do not fit well anymore.
Yes
If you are having mouth sores while wearing your dentures, you should check in with your dentist for a follow up. You most likely have "high spots" that are causing gum irritation.
Your dentist should be able to adjust and polish down these spots so that they don't rub on your gums anymore. After the adjustment, the sore spots should go away within a week.

RPDs can increase the build-up of plaque around the abutment teeth which can lead to tooth decay (caries) and gum disease. Trauma to the abutment teeth or gums can occur from pressure or movement of the partial. Bone loss at the sites of missing teeth can occur and over time can affect adjacent teeth.
