Gear making question

When cutting a gear how do you measure to know when you have cut the teeth deep enough? When cutting threads you can keep taking off more until a nut will fit but that method won't work for gears so how do you know when you are at the correct depth of cut?

I have no need to make a gear at the moment. Just wondering in case I ever need to.
