Do not worry: What you did is not going to do you any harm. There is fluoride in drinking water.

Fluoride toothpaste: The FDA and toothpaste manufacturers know you might swallow a little t'paste, but the amount you ingest is minuscule. You would have to swallow a bath-tub full. You'll be just fine.
