Should I retopologize before joining body parts?

I’m still new to blender and still creating a million prototypes of characters before I get to the final one. But I was wondering, the bottom jaw and top jaw of the minotaur below are separated. Would it be better to keep them separated and retopologize or can I join them together now so I can blend them together and not have an issue with separating the upper and bottom jaw later on?

Assuming that you’re sculpting, join it now. Generally, retopo is done when you’ve finished sculpting.
