That's one of the primary reasons to use them over a belt-pulley system. For teeth to slip the teeth would have to break off, be sized incorrectly to allow them to flex out of the way under loading (EXTREMELY mis sized gears) or, the two axes have enough play in them the the teeth no longer touch, or the tooth profiles don't mesh properly. All of those are easy to tell just by looking at the gears. | |

Depending on the size of the gear and pitch circle a true parabolic curve may or may not give you constant contact between teeth. But if the pitch circles between two mating gears intersect at the point of contact your gears won't slip unless you break a tooth off or the axis of the gears moves. | |
