Yeah, the amount of fluoride you need is miniscule. There hasn't really been much of a need for fluoridated water since fluoridated toothpastes became common in the 1960s.

There's nothing wrong with fluoridated water, and anyone with teeth certainly needs fluoride. But toothpaste and mouthwash are more than sufficient sources.
