Is it the flouride that is really bad for you as far as being toxic?

Most toothpastes contain trace amounts of chemicals that may be toxic when ingested; toothpaste is not intended to be swallowed. And I found this quite interesting...
Much of the toothpaste sold in the United States has 1000 to 1100 parts per million fluoride ion from one of these active ingredients, in the UK the fluoride content is often higher, a NaF of 0.32% w/w (1,450 ppm fluoride) is not uncommon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothpaste
