No if used properly: Most toothpaste today contains between 1000 ppm & 1450 ppm fluoride, usually in the form of sodium Fluoride or sodium monofluorophosphate (mfp). Prescription strength Fluoride toothpaste generally contains 5, 000 ppm sodium Fluoride toothpaste.This type of toothpaste is used in the same manner as regular toothpaste. It is well established that sodium Fluoride is safe & effective to prevent cavities.

Do you mean ppm?: 1000 ppm (parts per million) Fluoride toothpaste is extremely common. In fact, 5000 ppm is very often prescribed for cavity prone individuals. No danger, as long as it's not routinely swallowed...
