deny access from root to only one database

Hello, I'm still sort of new with MySQL, and I have a problem that I am hoping there is an easier way to fix then changing 20 some odd sites to incorporate new users and passwords.Up until now I have not had to have more then a minimum amount of security for my MySQL server so I have used the root as the user (tried setting up a new user before but could never to get it to work and it wasn't that big of a deal back then), But now I'm working on a site that needs the security and I have gone through great lengths to make and hash the user name and password that I created for the database. I am just wondering is there a way to stop root from having access to only this database or am I going to have to turn root completely off and create a new user and password for the rest of the databases?

Thank you for your time :-)
